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.

I just turned 47 and I think I am pregnant. It's too soon for a pregnancy test but I know the signs and I'm pretty confident in my self diagnosis -- and more than a little surprised. We have one 18 year old daughter and tried and tried to have a second child for years, to no avail. My husband is 10 years older than I but he's as giddy at the prospect as he was the first time around. Now I'm searching around for info online -- which wasn't available in 1990!
please let me know if you are indeed pregnant ...I am ttc at 46...love to hear success stories of women of our age...thanks..Lisa
I'm following a blog of someone older than you for inspiration.

I have been trying to get pregnant for several yrs. Had a miscarraige 4 days before my 40th birthday...At 44 yrs.old, I was inseminated, did not work...gave up..tried again on my own for almost 2years...failed. Now I am 46 and a half...missed my period..could this be a pregnancy?
If so, I won't believe it until I have a test?
