Jackie Grant (Butterfly67)

I am a 40+ singleton who decided late in life that she would like to have a child. My articles are here to share with others who are in the same situation as getting pregnant late in life holds its own challenges.

I started trying to conceive at the age of 43 and luckily I got pregnant at the age of 44. However, I miscarried that time but went on to have a child at age 46.

I spent a long time looking into how to get pregnant, speaking to other people in the same boat, and investigating anything that could help and am sharing that knowledge here.
