"Mature" Women

[nicolae]

Hi all<br><br>I can't help feeling I've missed the boat. I have one failed IVF-ICSI but I am what they term an "older" women - at only 40 !!! As they say biological clock running out not to mention finances. How do you guys fund 5 attempts? Would love to hear that some positive stories from women who have got pregnant over 40.<br><br>Nicola

Hi Jackie<br><br>I had my first "go" at the Lister. I am however living in Botswana at the moment so will have to wait until I get back to the UK for another attempt - hopefully in the New Year. <br><br>How about you?<br>

Roll on the oldies!<br>Hi,<br>I too am an old bird! 43!<br>Ist cycle abandoned in July as poor response and am starting again at end of October. Different protocol, short flare this time. Hormone levels are still good so am feeling pretty hopeful at the mo. Haven't always felt so hopeful as the hormones last time really screwed me up but am better and raring to go. There is nothing stopping us! These days, being in your 40's is not that much of a problem.<br>Good Luck<br>Keep hopeful<br>Debbie
