Now 6 weeks pregnant at 45

I conceived at 44, although I miscarried around week 7, and am now 6 weeks pregnant at 45.

Don't give up, you never know! Although I'd recommend reading "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" and cutting way back on caffeine and alcohol (although I didn't!).

I got pregnant with my last child at 43, and turned 44 a month after he was born. I have basically not used birth control since he was 4 months old, he is now 19 months and I am 45.

We have been TTC [trying to conceive], but now I have accepted that Liam is probably my last. He is my fifth child, and was conceived naturally. I wouldn’t seek medical intervention as, if we have another, it is meant to be.

To give you encouragement, I'm 44 and am 7 weeks pregnant after two months of trying. My first was at age 41 (delivered just before I turned 42). My daughter was conceived without trying (in fact, we were using birth control at the time), so it's not impossible.

Just wanted to add... I'm 45, pregnant for the first time! It wasn't getting pregnant at 45 that was hard, it was all the years in between in which it never happened (26 years of infertility, now spontaneously conceived at 45). I will be TTC [trying to conceive] again following this baby's birth.

Of course it happens to us "old" ladies - I'm 45 and that was my SURPRISE. This is my 6th. My youngest son is now 4 1/2. We were NOT trying. My oldest son just turned 20 yesterday.

Do not despair. It is possible.
