Can I get pregnant at 48 ?

So? Age is just a number. Mind your own business

I want to have pregnant with my own eggs but doctors here in IL said that I am too OLD to do that. Would you please give me phone number of doctor who you went then I can contact? I appreciate!

Can you share where you went in South Africa? I am 48 and I really want a baby Thank you so much for sharing

I truly understand how you feel. I had 2 miscarriages myself, both were at 12 weeks. I have been told by a doctor that I was too old to try to have another one. I am 47 and I pray to God every single day for my little miracle. I wish you all the best and God bless you.

Really what she did n how

csn you please give me the ivf details in South Africa?

Plesse can I have details

God can do the impossibles. I am trusting Him too

I agree. Some people are just plain ignorant, nasty, jealous & judgemental when it comes to these matters. I am 48 & i kid you not, i definitely don't look my real age. Wherever i go, people think i'm 30 to 35 @ the oldest & i am encouraged by many, to pursue my dreams of becoming a Mother once again. (Yes, i do tell everybody the truth regarding my real age) On top of this, i'm as fit as any 20 yr old & i have always maintained a very healthy lifestyle. So far as i'm aware, my fertility is still in check & i still have regular menstrual cycles. I may not have many viable eggs remaining, but i'm certain there'd be a few healthy eggs there & in a number of countries, that's all they require, a few viable eggs. I had my only child, my son, when i was 22, however, his Father & i didn't remain together thereafter. I met my only true love, my first husband, in my mid/late 40s & we married when i was 46 yrs old. My husband was married before, however, he never had children. We've found so many people have been very supportive of us, to try for a baby, even in our maturity. We are heading overseas to try for a baby, by using my own eggs, as this method isn't supported here in Australia unfortunately. All i can say to all those who judge is this, don't be so quick to judge other women, or even other men, because you too, may someday find yourself in this precarious situation, through no fault of your own. Until you find yourself getting older, yet still yearning for a 2nd or even 3rd child of your own, you have no idea what the woman in question is going through. Yes, i may be older in the biological/physical sense, but mentally/emotionally, i still feel my losses & i still yearn for the same things that a younger person yearns for. If i'd met my Mr Right 10 or even 20 yrs earlier, of course i'd have had more children, however, that's not how it worked out for me. Now that we're older, it doesn't take away from our yearning, but it actually makes us want to try one last time, before it really is too late.

I also want to add that, growing older isn't a death sentence, so don't let this put you off trying for your own baby later in life. As the old saying goes, so long as you're alive, you will grow older, so learn to embrace aging, rather than reject it & realise that for many, parenting does arrive much later. In many cultures, especially within Indigenous cultures, the elderly are revered & highly respected, whereas in the West, if you're older, you're often treated in the opposite manner. This is wrong & we need to reshape the mentality of we Westerners. In countries such as Afghanistan & parts of Africa, many women fall pregnant naturally, well into their late 40s. Despite much of what these women are exposed to, they're not breathing in as much filth as we do, they're not eating half as much junk food as we do & they're not carrying as much weight as we do, both in the mental & physical sense. I've read, it has a lot to do with these women carrying less stress, less oxidative stress & inhaling less toxins, hence more late life pregnancies taking place. Apparently in the developed world, women will always find it much harder to fall pregnant, especially when over 40. The negative impact for many of these women though, is that they're not necessarily planning to have more babies, but bec of the lack of resources & proper birth control measures, they continue to get pregnant. What's my point? If this is happening to other women, it can certainly happen to you. My Maternal Grandmother fell pregnant for the last time, in her late 40s & yes, it was all natural. To all older ladies, good luck & keep trying! Don't let the views of society dictate what you should/shouldn't do. I believe that even the professionals will tell us all scary stories & try to put us off & don't i know. Why? Because more often than not, they don't have time & they can't be bothered. It's that simple. These negatives have been drilled into their medical minds, but on the positive, we know that there are a number of Fertility Specialists globally, who are willing & prepared to assist older women to achieve their dream of becoming a Mother.

Can I ask did you have another baby and at what age ? Where overseas did you go to ? Thanks

I are age 47 so between 48 can be a pregnancy make sure or not sure so I did jnow hope that for thank you a message me back.

Hi, I am 48 and I want to get pregnant, I wonder if you were able to conceived, I'd like to hear women with same experience

Hello Kate Smith sorry for the situation you are currently in, i can understand the mess condition you are in. There's no denying that one can’t get pregnant until age 50.I had a friend who conceived at an age of 49. She consulted a very famous clinic in Kiev which was specialized for human production, were the experts said that after age 45 it's almost impossible to get pregnant using your own eggs. At the same time, many 45-plus women do get pregnant. Many women use fertility treatments such as IVF or surrogacy and some conceive naturally. Pregnancy at any age has advantages as well as disadvantages. Fertility specialists say 45+ is something where moms get a realistic picture of what it's like to have a child in your 50s.According to me advantages of being pregnant in after 50+ are: more experienced, make a wiser decision as compared to moms at an early age, have more secure financially etc. With advantages comes the disadvantage as well they are: may find hard to conceive naturally and face problems in getting pregnant. There is a high chance you may have a small or preterm baby, maybe your partner's sperm at this stage may get low and weak, at this stage if you are not properly flourished pregnancy then having a baby can strain your finances etc. You have 5-10% chances to get pregnant in every ovulation. Till an age of 40, the chance of conceiving decreases from 30 - 40 % from 70 - 80%. Delay in getting pregnant can result in miscarriages as well. Many women get menopause at a very early age so delaying pregnancy can result in an end of egg supply as well. As you are very much eager to get pregnant i would suggest you not to delay anymore and start the process. Go get an appointment with a good gynecologist and ask for the best method you can choose. I hope you will get help from my post. Wishing for your success.
