[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some context on the 47 year old, which Dr. DiMattina told me about her during our consult...he was straightforward that she underwent 9 NC-IVF cycle attempts, for 4 of those cycles she made it to egg transfer and on the 4th transfer she had a pregnancy that stuck and delivered a baby.[/quote]

WOW. Who has that much money - and time -  to spend on natural cycle?  That means she probably was at it a few years. Somewhere  she probably should have considered moving to donor egg, ideally somewhere with high success rates.  Could have saved a  lot of time and money. [/quote]

but the baby wouldn't be genetically related to her. lets not pretend that that factor does not exist.[/quote]

For some people, it really doesn't. We adopted our first child, but went with donor egg IVF for our second. We actually selected a donor of our daughter's ethnicity (which isn't the same as mine) so that the siblings will have that in common.[/quote]

WOW - this is incredibly thoughtful of you. What an amazing gift you have given your children. [/quote]
