[quote=Anonymous]I am about to turn 44. We were in the "unexplained infertility" category after all the testing. We had DD #1 on our second IVF attempt. DS #2 was natural conception, after trying only for three months. We have no idea why our experience was different with the second child. Now that DS #2 turned 5 and the parenting life is a lot easier, I've begun thoughts about a third. I realize it might be too late. My 44 old newly married TTC for a year friend told me that at age 44, the quality of the eggs is the problem, that it makes it harder for not only conception but to carry the baby to term. If I don't go the donor egg route, what are the chances of TTC, conceiving, and actually carrying a third child to term at my age? Should I run to try IVF or is even that pretty much a less than 5% chance event? The default would be to try to conceive naturally and then give up after X months. Perhaps 6-12 months, open to suggestions.[/quote]
