  • Congratulations and welcome to the group.  The tests aren't too bad.  There are non-invasive tests available now that can screen for trisomy issues with a simple blood tests.  Other than that, and having more frequent ultrasounds, I don't think I've had more tests than the younger gals.
    Me-41, Hubby-40.
    1st BFP-8/17/12!  Missed Miscarriage discovered @ 8 week US.  D&C.
    2nd BFP-2/13/13!  Blighted Ovum discovered @ 8 week US. Natural miscarriage.
    3rd BFP-5/22/13!  By early June, progesterone plummeting.  Another loss.
    August 2013 - started Donor Egg process, but surprise BFP with my own eggs.

  • Congrats and welcome. The tests are not bad at all. I've only had one more blood test this time around since I'm 35 then I did with DS when I was 30. I've had a couple more ultrasounds this time but that is because they are checking on DS2 kidneys.
