Yes, I'm pregnant at 45 with my own egg

Yes, I'm pregnant at 45 with my own egg. Ironically, this is after "giving up" on my own eggs (after 2 miscarriages since I was 40) and having a baby in January of 2004 from donor eggs. We weren't using birth control (and I was nursing) and then my period was late around Thanksgiving.

When DH and I saw the +++ on the HPT [home pregnancy test], we were in shock, but at the same time we fully expected this pregnancy would end in miscarriage like the 2 before our DE [donor egg] child.

Well, here I am at 19.5 weeks and we've also gotten word that my amnio results are perfect!!! We are pleasantly pleased with our "surprise" pregnancy. I honestly thought it was impossible for me to have any good eggs left. I guess all I can say is that it can happen.

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.
