[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d reccomend reading the relevant chapter or two of Expecting Better and It Starts With the Egg. You are both right. Your doctor wants the best chances, and the best chances are younger. Miscarriage rate and terminate-for-medical-reasons go up with age, as do abnormalities you can’t test for in utero. But also, [b]lots of people do have helathy babies in late 30s/early 40s[/b]. 45+ is rarer. Also, if you want more than one, it gets harder.[/quote] With great effort and suffering.[/quote] Not always. I and several a half dozen of my friends had kids at 39-41 (mostly women of color). I believe only one used her previously retrieved/frozen egg. The rest were natural or with donor sperm (IUI not IVF). [/quote] Yeah. For some women, getting pregnant into their late 30s and early 40s is not a problem. You just can’t know beforehand if that’s going to be easy or possible for you.[/quote]
