40 and first ivf

[peppypeep]

Hey ladies,

I just turned 40 a week ago and will begin my first ivf cycle this month.  Transfer will probably be sometime in February. I was wondering if any of you got pregnant with ivf at 40 with your own eggs?

Also, were you pregnant before?   I was pregnant last summer but miscarried.

Look forward to hearing from you ....    Baby dust****

I got preggo at nearly 40 with a donor embie - mom was 35 at time of freezing - wheb I miscarried the doc said "well the mom was old"!

I got preggo and carried with donor embryos three times since
I am 43

hi there -

so i had 3 MCs and the no luck with IUI and injectibles. next step is IVF. i feel weird doing ivf since i have conceived without meds and DH has great sperm but i am told the age factor/ odds of good eggs etc is now getting more elusive. i will be 39 in 2 1/2 months. so are you doing IVF for age or for other TTC challenges?

i'm going to try PGD as well are you??? anyway i will be a month behind you but would love a buddy. good luck.

I will be 40 in a few days and am starting my first round of all injectibles.  I also have only one tube so we may be faced with IVF as well in the very near future.  I've been pregnant 4 times (2 m/c, one good pregnancy resulting in daughter and an ectopic).

Wow! Thank you all for your posts.

mysty - right now I'm not interested in a donor embie, want to try my own.

usuk, we are doing ivf for age factor only. what is pgd?  anyway, being ivf buddies would be nice. Keep me posted and good luck!

mlb1234 - glad to see that we are almost the same age exactly. Keep me posted about your progress, I am very interested. Congrats on your daughter, let's hope for #2 this year!  
Let's make it happen girls in 2010!!!

Hey, just an update - I just heard from my nurse and my insurance has approved my IVF so I am on go starting next week!  I'm really relieved and excited and can't wait to try IVF.  I know it is a lot of work with the shots and everything but it will be interesting.

Wish me luck and baby dust to all!!!  :)
