[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 49 yr old unmarried sister  is due to start fertility treatments. She is has severe anxiety and depression. Her 30 yr old boyfriend is a terrible father but she can’t see it. He has two kids from different women. She is a professional, earns well, and has everything she needs to take care of herself but she is so stuck on having this baby. I don’t think it’s going to
happen for her but want to be supportive and at the same time I’m also annoyed at her not being able to see what’s in front of her .[/quote]

OP, what does "due to start fertility treatments" mean? I agree with the PPs who say that [b]no ethical RE would do this[/b]. Are you sure she actually has scheduled plans to start medication, etc, or is she just talking about it?[/quote]
What are you talking about? Do you realize how many women in their late 40s have babies through fertility treatments? Just look at all the celebrities who had babies in their late 40s.

Mostly with donor eggs, which they will not tell.  I was a woman in her 40's trying to get pregnant, so I am well aware of this misconception.  [/quote]

Yes, donor egg and/or surrogate.  Like Naomi Campbell, who obnoxiously said that her daughter is "not adopted" and is "her child" (as if adopted children aren't their parents' children), but also refused to admit she used a surrogate.  She was on the runway 5 weeks before the baby announcement with no bump, so it's pretty obvious, but still.

I can understand saying it's no one's business how your baby was born, but at the same time, if you're going to appear with the baby on the cover of Vogue and tell everyone she's not adopted, it's pretty clear that you want people to think you got pregnant and gave birth at 51.  And that makes women think that late-40s babies are common and NBD, which is cruel[/quote]
