[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this even possible at your age?[/quote]Umm, yes, I'm only 43! Everything still works the right way and I'm in great shape... My OB/GYN is completely fine with it.[/quote]

I say this with kindness - I think you have unrealistic expectations about how easy this is going to be.  I'm not clear if you and the friend will have intercourse or do IUI, but in either case, your odds of having a baby [b]as a person who has never had a child before at 43 are extremely low[/b].

The first thing I would do with your friend is sort through what you're willing to go through to have a baby and see if you even agree on that.  IUI?  IVF?  Donor egg?  Would you try with your own egg before donor egg?  And none of it is cheap and at your age even these procedures have low chance of working.[/quote]

This is not necessarily true.  If OP were 43 and had been ttc for years, then I would agree, but that's not the case.

OP, go for it, but I vote for anon sperm donor, not friend.

[b]Another option, I know some single women who adopted babies (12 mos. of age or so) from China and seems to have worked out well for all of them.
[/b]

Most countries due not allow adoption to single women and/or past a certain age...Laws have changed over time...much harder than before...

Yes, I think China went anti-single-women a while ago, and have a long waiting list for everyone.

I adopted a domestic newborn at age 44 as a single woman.  Much easier than international.[/quote]
