Wow it was so good to read this thread! I've been over on the Fertility Forum since December of 2006. I'm 41 (and a half!) and ttc #1. I got pg when I was 39 in just 5 short months but very sadly lost our son at 20 weeks due to a rare chromosomal problem. My RE said my ovarian reserve is diminished and that we have a 5-8% chance of conceiving on our own. I've been going for acupuncture for 4 months and the success rate with this Dr. is an average of 4 months. I fear we've been trying at the wrong time for several months because I didn't understand when I O'ed. But, the OPK said I O'ed so we hit it at the right time this cycle for sure.

Best of Luck and SSBD for Everyone!!!!

thank you!
i am new to this community and it's great to read all of these positive stories. i am 38 and had a miscarriage in april at 10 weeks. i am still cautiously optimistic that we might conceive again and that i could possibly have a healthy pregnancy and successful childbirth. i will be 39 in november. best of luck to everyone who is trying. :)
p.s. the united nations places "childbearing age" at 15-49 years old. when i read that, i thought "i wish more american women were aware of this!" :)

My twin sister is 42 and is due in a month.  She conceived naturally.  So yes, every woman is different, but I am tired of the "can't be done" fanatics.

What a wonderful thread....full of uplifting inpsiring stories. I was having one of those 'is it ever going to happen' days and only a few moments ago I was writing a journal putting my thoughts into words expressing my sadness that after 5 years of trying I feel like its never going to happen. I always try and keep the faith and hold out for a miracle, reading all the encouraging stories above has just reminded me why its important to keep positive and why I keep going. Thank you :)

Congratulations to your friend! I am 40 as well and ttc. No luck so far but am still hopeful at times. There was a woman on this forum a while back who was 50 and got pregnant naturally...without even ttc. Her screen name was momof16. I would love to know where she is at now. Her baby was due in July of '08 so it would be turning one this month. Her daughter was pregnant at the same time and was due in Oct. Amanda should remember her because she responded to some of the posts. Women like that are my inspirations!!! I have nagging doubts for myself in the back of my head but then I read these posts and I have to believe that my BFP will happen too. Best of luck to you on your journey. Go love on your friends little boy and maybe good vibes will pass through...lol!!
