[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got pregnant right away at 35, had a healthy and easy pregnancy and healthy baby.  Started TTC #2 when I was 37.  We tried for 5 years, including infertility treatments and surgery, and I was never able to get pregnant again.  We gave up after TTC for 5 years.  I have never been able to accept being one and done, not by choice, and continue to be sad about this every day.  Therapy has not helped.  I am an only child myself and personally think it is not an ideal way to grow up.

Lately I've been thinking about donor eggs or donor embryo.  Before I was not open to this but now I am.  I had a perfect pregnancy with no problems the first time around but that was many years ago.  I have no health issues and take no medications but I am almost 45 and worry about being very advanced maternal age now.

Would it be a bad decision to try to pursue a DE pregnancy now?  DH wants to adopt but I really don't think any birth mother would choose us due to age.[/quote]

I had my first easily at 39.  i tried for 2 years after and got pregnant twice but miscarried both times, and also did several IUIs and IVFs.  (IUIs waste of time and money.) for a year i tried to be "okay" having an only, but i couldn't accept it.  we decided to go with DE and it worked on the second try.  my daughter completes our family.   it was an easy pregnancy and an easy delivery.  I'm definitely one of the oldest moms, but it is what it is.  so, i don't think it's a bad idea to do a DE pregnancy now.  [/quote]
