[quote=Anonymous]I just did a pregnancy test and found out that the FET with my final embryo didn't take.  I'm 42.5.  Starting at age 36, I've done 6 IUIs, three egg harvests, created 10 5-day blasts and 2 3-day blasts.  I had two early miscarriages and had one baby (feel so lucky for that)!  No diagnosis--just seems that I have crappy eggs.

I loved being pregnant and I really REALLY wanted a second baby.  But we told ourselves that this would be our last attempt.  My partner is 45, I'm 42.5, and it just feels like we have to stop at some point.

How do you know when you're done?  I don't *feel* done, in that I'd love to have another.  On the other hand, I'm not sure I'll ever feel done.  Any tips and advice?

We're a same sex couple, so we can't just say, "well, we'll stop treatment and see what happens."  If we want another kid, it means back to IVF (low chance of working) or egg donors or adoption.

I'd love to hear about others' experiences.  I wrote that this post is about secondary infertility in the subject line because I know this topic can be hard for those trying for a first baby (I was THERE for so long). [/quote]
