[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at just the miscarriage rates alone, OP.

And here are the percentages of eggs with chromosonal abnormalities.

The point is, the chance of you conceiving and carrying a healthy child is very low. You may need to do multiple rounds of IVF. Are you both up for that?[/quote]

These data points only apply if the woman has primary or secondary infertility to start with. Stop fear mongering.

Yes, OP Is outside the normal window, statistics are against her. I assume she knows that, but fear mongering and providing inapplicable data just fuels the ignorance fire. Many women have normal pregnancies and babies at this age. Most of the data available is outdated and poorly analyzed.

Not everyone's narrative runs the same way.

OP, if this is what you want, I think you could do worse for options. The idea of family is becoming more fluid, and I, for one, am happy for that.m

If this is what y want, and you and the father can agree on what to do, I think this is a brave and wonderful plan. I'm sorry, but half the finger waggin on here comes from people that married their HS sweethearts, had babies, and secretly seethe in resentment until the kids leave for college, some of them having affairs. All because they didn't realize that having children is a choice and not a mandate.

If is is what you want to do... Plan ahead for the worst. Go to counselling with the potential father. I'd actually recommend this for anyone.
