Hello everyone! I am new here. I am 42 with a 11 & 12 yo. My first husband (my 11 n 12 yo daughters father) passed away. Fast forward, I have been married for 6 months and was told that we wouldn't get pregnant without assistance because of his counts and my eggs! Well, on 4/21/15, we got a bfp, so unexpected but excited. Hcg at 4 weeks 5 days was 1498. Go back tomorrow to ensure its increasing! Blessed beyond measure. I pray that everyone here has successful pregnancies!

Went today, measuring 5 weeks and 3 days and only a gestational sac. Dr said that it has increased in size but praying its not a blighted ovum. Did blood work and praying hcg has increased. Now, I am a bit down about this.

Congratulations! I too am over 40, 44 to be exact! It was a surprise as my children are 11 and 22! We are so excited however! We are obviously concerned with my age and a previous miscarriage 7 years ago. I am currently eight weeks two days. They saw the heartbeat and we heard it too! If you want to respond back I would be glad to chat! My thoughts and prayers are with u!! Take care and good luck!!

Hi, I'm 42 and six weeks pregnant with my first. I'm extremely amazed, but also being cautious due to my age and being my first time pregnant. Good luck to everyone!
