Thought I was pre-menopausal because my period was late

I am now 44 and have two children from a previous marriage; a daughter who is 23, a son who is 21 and who has a 1 1/2 year old boy himself. My husband and I have a daughter who is 6 1/2 and we are expecting another baby in June.
We have been through 5 miscarriages, the last one was 2 1/2 years ago after extensive infertility treatments. After that we gave up. The reproductive endocrinologist told us that due to a sperm morphology issue, we'd never again conceive on our own. So we went about our lives focusing on our youngest daughter, getting the older 2 through college, helping with the grandson.
Then in October I thought I was pre-menopausal because my period was late... nope... we were pregnant.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
