Two over 40 pregnancies with Clomid

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Thursday, September 20, 2012 | 0 comments

I had two over 40 pregnancies with Clomid.

One at age 42, it took 3 months, and one at age 44, which took 4 months.

With my last pregnancy, I tested with an FSH of 15, and the doctor felt it was never going to work.

I also took herbs (on my own, and I'm not recommending you do this) at the same time that cycle.

This last one was at 100 mg. days 3-7.

The first pregnancy at age 42 was with 50 mg. days 5-9.

TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:

First Baby After 30 . . . or 40:
What to Expect When You're 30-Something or More
by Dr Penny Stanway

-- Increasing numbers of women are having their first baby after 40, and with modern technology, the age at which women can have children is rising further still.

Although books on pregnancy and childbirth abound, a woman having her first child after the age of 30 or even 40 has special needs and concerns which are different from those of younger women.

This book looks at the pros and cons of having a first child later in life, discusses how to avoid or minimize the potential problems, and offers guidance on looking after yourself and your baby.

And because older women considering pregnancy are more likely than younger ones to think about life after the baby, it also takes a good look at family planning.

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.
