I got pregnant with my daughter at 45
I got pregnant with my darling daughter who is upstairs sleeping on my 5th and last IVF [in vitro fertilization] . I was 45 and 1 month when conceived, and 45 and 10m when delivered. I used my own eggs and PGD.
I was at Cornell, I had low FSH [follicle stimulating hormone] - 3.7, did acupuncture and was a good responder - unusually so for our age -- got 20-28 eggs each time. Last transfer two were normal after PGD [Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis], including one that was questionable, but we transferred anyway. I had my first daughter at 43 with IUI [intra-uterine insemination] at Cornell.
Everyone told me I was crazy to keep going, even my husband was on the fence. But I knew in my heart I had to try one more time to close the door before we went to adoption. I believe each person knows in their own heart when to stop trying and pursue different avenues. I was careful in who I discussed IVF with. Hope this gives someone hope!!
