Pregnant after 35

Finally made it here!!!

I started to doubt I would be able to say "I'm here"!!!  After failed IVF, poor quality eggs. I finally got my BFP!  Currently 9 weeks along.  Started out as twins but one was a blighted ovum at my 6 week u/s, the second had a strong heartbeat. My RE let me come back a week later for anothe u/s (just to put my mind at ease). Today is my third. Call me silly but I'm still worried we'll get in there and find a problem. I'll be 38 when this little snowflake is born. I have an 18 year old boy, but wow, it really feels like it's happening for the first time all over again. My hopes are high and my fingers are crossed :) forcing myself to remain positive ;)

    Welcome! I have two teenage boys myself and conceived my current bump through IVF :) It really does feel like starting all over again! People ask me questions about my other pregnancies and I draw a total blank-- 14 years ago was a loooong time.

    RE says the low egg count is likely causing my recurrent pregnancy loss. Less eggs results in more aneuploidy.
