  I'm not over 40 but I'm 39 and it's my first pregnancy. We did two rounds of IVF/3 FET's. I hope this round works for you.

  GL to you as well. While I feel younger than my age, I know that does not mean anything. I never thought I'd be in my 40s ttc.

  @LynnNJ I'll be 38 on the 28th so I've been lurking on the pregnant after 35 to see what they're up to and it seems I've seen several members who are 40 and over discussing their pregnancies. You could also check the success or pg after IF boards. Good luck to you!

  Hi @LynnNJ!! I'm well over 40 - I just turned 43 in March. I have two girlfriends who are 44, both pregnant via IVF (I'm going to the same specialist so I have high hopes). It's the first child for both friends, although one of them had a miscarriage when they tried naturally. Both gals did IVF and each got pregnant on the second round. One of them only had ONE embryo and it took I hope that helps ease your mind a little. I've never done this before but everyone tells me to try to think positive. xo
