[quote=Anonymous]I went through 9 rounds of IVF with my own eggs and donor eggs.  We finally gave up and are on to adoption.  I am now 47 (IVF was 42-44).  Last year at Christmastime a friend from HS announced her pregnancy at 46.  She is over in London but has made it seem like she got pregnant the old fashioned way.  This is her first pregnancy and child.  Her son is 6 months old now.  She is a yoga instructor and is always talking about her healthy diet, cutting out this or that, etc.  She also traveled to a mutual friend's wedding very early in the pregnancy, like even before she knew she was pregnant.  Had she done IVF I doubt she would have been traveling to the States. (Just some evidence of the possibility that she isn't lying about getting pregnant the old fashioned way)

I was over the top envious and sad.  No other pregnancy bothered me because all the women I saw were younger than I was at the time.  Had I seen tons of over 40 women pregnant the old fashioned way, I think I would have been much more of a basket case during IVF.[/quote]
