Do it now- it took me 4 years of ivf to get pregnant. You don’t the luxury of waiting. I gave birth at 46 to my first miracle baby girl in March. I’m so exhausted and in perimenopause but so in love 🥰

Do it now. I'm 41 with a 7 month old rainbow baby, 2 failed rounds it takes its toll. Had a easy pregnancy even with GD and all the other pricks and prods but after birth It's harder for some reason 😕

@Natalie @Jalpa sorry mammas, let me clarify, i have done already the hard work and have embryos in the freezer 🤞🏻 @Natalie how are you experience being mama at 46, i know its hard but anything else i should be mindful of? 🙏🏻🫶🏻

@Diana I'd definitely try sooner if that's what you want to do. Like @Natalie said you never know how long it will take. X

I'm getting ready at 47 for my 2nd one. My 1st is 16 months. I had to wait due to csection. It makes a difference for me. I feel a lot stronger. If I had time, I would wait 6 more months. I just decided to take good vitamins, eat well, better sleep, and done breastfeeding. That all helps.

@Diana hi, I had embryos too, I miscarried one & 3 never implanted after transfer. It took my fifth transfer to finally get & stay pregnant- so it can take time. I’m very tired, my back is hurting and my legs- it’s taken a toll- & idk if its the pregnancy or hormones or the fact that I’m perimenopause- but it’s taking a lot longer for me to recover- don’t have anything to compare it to tho- since this is my first pregnancy. My actual pregnancy was not too bad- I had some bleeding first tri, I got carpal tunnel- but my back was good, blood pressure was good, very successful pregnancy
