Hi Patricia, I can relate to you, I haven't had my TR yet, trying for Feb 2010. However, I am 40 and was in an abusive marriage, had 2 children, DS 22 from a previous relationship before the 1st marriage and DD 10yrs old from the abusive marriage, have TL right after she was born....However, I've been blessed with a wonderful DH that adores my children but doesn't have any of his own. I'm positive I will be close to 42 when I do conceive (claiming it!!!). So I will pray for your BFP to come very soon!

I am so thankful for finding this thread. September 22 was my one yr TR and still no baby. I am 43 have two daughters (24,20) and am with someone 17 yrs younger (been together 4 yrs) getting married December this year - with no children. Nothing more would make me happier than to give my new hubby a baby. I have all but given up hope on making our dreams come true. I keep up with my cycles, he's done the fertility test and still nothing...but all of your words have been a slight encouragement and hopefully one day soon I'll get to happily report the birth of our baby.

Wow..this thread has been so helpful to me. I kinda feel like I fit in now. I just turned 41. Have 4 boys of my own..21,17,12, and 9. I am recently remarried and we want a lil one together. He has a daughter of his own but she lives in another country and I want something for him to love like I do. I was really nervous at first due to my age but I am very healthy and have never had any problems before conceiving so I have my fingers crossed. My surgery is Oct 08 and I'm super excited. We have only told a few people because I dont want to hear all the horror stories and remarks on my age and starting over. Wish my luck and I hope and pray that everyone here gets everything they ever wanted....

I am also trying to be positive. I was 42 when I had my tr. My DH is 14 years younger and a fantastic step dad to my 3 children. I pray that I will be able to have one more. My left tube was blocked 4 weeks after tr but the r-7. Caroljean is my role model. I think I'm the oldest one here TTC. I am going to run my test again this month to see how things are going. I am praying for a miracle. I just thought that I would have gotten a BFP already, no problem conceiveing the last two times. DD 17 and twin boys 15 (naturally).

Patricia.... your story sounds alot like mine. I had my TR last year at 41 in April, 08. At the time my husband and I had been married for almost a year, although we had been together for almost 6. I have four children too (at the time they were 20,17,14,12 all boys). I felt like I was crazy wanting to go through all of this again, but my DH was alot younger (13 years younger) and had no children of his own. It took us a year and a half, but we got our BFP last month and I am 7 weeks pregnant this weekend. It felt like the longest year and a half of my life TTC! I will be almost 44 when I deliver this baby, but it will be well worth it! There are more challenges for women over 40, but be persistent and find a doctor to work with you. Be sure to have your hormone testing, follow your cycles to be sure you are ovulating regularly, and you may have to look into some medications to improve your chances, but hopefully it will happen. I had given up all hope until this cycle, but like Miranda said, keep up the faith. I hope it works for you!

My Aunt was 41 when she had her little girl. She is the smartest little girl I have ever met. She is two years old. I will be 39 next month so I understand your fears. I had my TR done 2 years ago had one BFP and a miscarriage. Still trying. I can also relate to your situation. I have one daughter she will be 19 in two months. I had my tubes tied at 20 years old and too was in a abusive relationship. I have been married to my current husband for 10 years and he has no children. I have very high hopes and know it will happen. It will happen for you too June is not that long ago. Make sure you get put on some prenatal pills now the vitamins and folic acid will help. If you are really worried you might want to consult a fertility doctor they can help you through watched cycles and let you know the exact time to BD this would increase your chances. I am seeing one now. Good luck on your journey BFP and sticky bean in your future.

Patricia I am not over 40 but I can tell you that I had my TR done on March-24-08 and we did not see our first BFP till over a year after surgery on July-22-09. Hang in there and keep the faith. We all know babies come in the own time. Miranda

I have been happily remarried for 14 months now and my husband has no children. I have 4 (2 girls-19 & 18 and 2 boys-15 &11). I always wanted one more but elected for tubal cause I was in an abusive marriage and thought it best at the time. I had my TR on June 18, 2009 and have not been lucky yet. I am still very hopeful though that God will Bless us with a miracle baby. I am almost 41 now so I know it will be harder. Are there many woman out there who can relate to my situation? Are there many of you over 40 with success stories to share with me? I would love to hear from any one who is willing to share. Thank you all for this chance. Patricia
