[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, I want to encourage her to follow her heart but I feel so concerned for her health and if she will be physically healthy. She is newly married and I think this is the happiest that I have ever seen her. I feel so conflicted, is it false hope I am giving if I encourage her? I also do not want to discourage her from doing something she has always dreamed of.

OP, I'm sort of in the same boat. I have a friend who is 56 and seems to have all of a sudden remembered that she has frozen embryos stored from when she and her DH had their children via IVF 14 years ago. She is actually talking about trying to get pregnant and using them.

I know how hard this situation is, but I think you owe it to her to be frank with her. And frankly she, and my friend, are nuts. They are, IMHO, suffering from mid-life crises and think that they can solve all of their feel-of-aging problems by giving birth.

I've "always dreamed" of having 100 million dollars and living in the south of France, but ya know what? At 49, I'm realizing it ain't gonna happen. Tell your friend to enjoy her wonderful new married life and accept that none of us gets everything in life.
