too old?

Question

i just turned 44 a week ago.  desperately want a child [no children, first ttc] - no donor eggs.  prevalent obstacles include low ovarian reserve due to age and irregular periods.  any success stories?

Answer

Can reLly offer any advice. I was just scrolling and didn't want to NOT respond. Just keep at it. And pray... I'm 43 and have been trying for 11 months. I have found a peaceful state lately. I don't have too much hope but I continue each month. I think I have reached a breaking point and am finally able to give it to god. Good luck

Answer

Don't lose hope! I'm 43 and will be 44 in a few months. I too am ttc 1st, was also told very low egg reserve, but still have regular period so I'm still hopeful. Good luck!

Answer

I just want to encourage you. As long as we continue to have periods and ovulate, we can possibly get pregnant. I am 45, TTC baby #1 with my SO (be his 1st also), we've been trying so long and started the fertility clinic process in March this year. Among other things, dr wanted a clearance from my GP or cardiologist. Found out I have Right Bundle Branch Block (electrical signal on right side is broken, so it takes a "scenic route" to signal to my heart). Yesterday, had a treadmill stress test, echo ultrasound of heart, & am now wearing a 24-hr holter monitor (ekg) to see if anything else is wrong. Test results due in 5 or 6 days. No clearance yet so cannot even do preg pills yet! So stressed!
