[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No concern re: your age and having a baby - just a note to say that most women's eggs are not high enough quality to make a baby after age 43. There are outliers, of course. Everbody's heard a story about so-and-so's grandmother who had babies at age 50..... But after age 43, it is very common that reproductive endocrinologists will recommend that a woman/couple looking to conceive use donor eggs due to the high risk of miscarriage or fetal chromosomal abnormalities.[/quote] This. It’s biology. Some women have poor eggs period and others have better eggs for longer, but there is a fairly uniform decline in both our egg quality and quantity as we age…I am 34 and have two and am freezing my embryos, because I know that I want a third and I want to have some peace of mind that if I want to get pregnant at 37 or 38 that my eggs will be better quality.
