Ivf and donor age 47
Hi all. My wife is 47, We have been married for 23 years. Got two children age 22 and 19. After the second child we decided to have the tubes tied. That was 19 years ago. Well last year we went for tubal reversal and found out my wife had abnormal fallopian tubes after the reversal. After 9 months TTC nothing happened. In early July this year we decided to look into ivf. The timing was great. The ivf began straight away. We found a donor and the treatment began. Our donor gas us 19 eggs, 15 fertilized, and 10 left after 3 days. 2 embryos were transferred on 06/08/2011 and 8 were frozen. We are now on 19/08/2011. 13 days after transfer and my wife has had 5 pregnancy tests. All have shown pregnant, The last shows 3+ with clearblue. We advised the clinic and they said the results could be incorrect and we will have to wait until the 20/08. Does anyone know if the tests could wrong and show a false result. The total cost for the ivf treatment was $18000. Would lover to hear from people as we are unsure of the results. Ps. I'm doing all the legwork as I think you girls have enough to worry about.
Hello everyone. Just an update.
Been reading the comments on our account. Seems like years ago. Our baby is now 27 months old.
The second round of ivf never worked.
But there have been a lot of Twists and turns so we decided to write a book. We listed it on Amazon and kindle. Look for Sarah's child.
I'll post a link. Not sure if I'm allowed.

We are on day 5 after FET. -all good at the moment. No symptons. Just a little early to say. Got another 7 days to go. It's a long 2 ww.
This is wonderful news for you guys!! You are an inspiration for lots of 'older' mums! Good luck for this time round, please let us know how it goes.
How wonderful to hear an update from you. Congrats on the little one, and best of luck on your recent FET. Let us know!!
Forgot to mention . Just wanted to say we used the same clinic in Cyprus. UKCFA is there UK agents / clinic.
Our baby is now 10 months old. Mom is now 49. everything perfect. Just had another try - FET a few days ago. Got to wait another 10 days. We feel confident. Will let you know.
Good luck to you. Hope all works out.
Our baby is just over 1 month old. Our story is we both went on a big diet before my wife became pregnant. We both lost 20 kilos each in 3 months, eating the right foods, plenty of fruit and vegs. Plenty of swimming. I believe this was one of the major factors in helping to become pregnant. The weight loss took off at least 10 years in the way we felt.
I would suggest also that you only look at the positive links rather than e negative ones when you are trying to get pregnant as I believe that they have an effect on how you feel and could change the outcome

Yes donor. If you are over age 45 the egg quality is poor and there is likely to be more complications or mc. We also tried for tubal reversal. This was a complete waste of money and we should of gone for Ivf donor from the start. Check out the clinic we went to. Ukcfa.
We have less than 60 hours left before our little boy is here.
Good luck.

Cazsev - spotting during early stages of pregnancy is very very common. Implantation bleeding however is typically a very minute amount and lasts only a day or so. It's also not as common as many think. For the most part, Dr's often don't know what causes spotting, but it happens in about 30% of pregnancies, and most of the time women go on to have normal, healthy pregnancies.
Babysat - so great to hear your update and so happy to know all is going well! Please make sure you let us know when your wife gives birth. We love to celebrate new arrivals around here!

Very comforting to hear all of those donor egg recipients with success. I am on day 5 post ET with 2 good donor eggs. At 47 I worry about if now suceeding. I have spotting today and have been having cramps ever since transfer.
Very hard times waiting but we are lucky to have go this far :) Is it possible to get AF 5 days after donor egg transfer - I hope this is implantation bleeding.
Good luck to you all out there - any one out there feeling like me?

Thanks for keeping us updated. Bleeding happens to a lot of women in pregnancy and often is nothing to worry about. Always best to report it though, so it's good you did. Congrats on 13 weeks! That is a huge milestone and the majority of pregnancies that go to 13 weeks result go the distance. Great news! Did the scan show one or two babies? Congrats again!!
Hi
Congrats on your twins, hope everything is going ok, our update, my wife is 5 weeks and 3 days, and on the 23/08 and this morning 27/08 she has seen a small amount of reddish blood ( small amount but worrying ) she has no pain or cramps but would like to know how this could affect the pregnancy. Our first scan is not until early September. She is now taking it easy but we are a little worried.
