While I'm so happy for you and your family's good fortune, I do worry that posts like this unfairly perpetuate the myth that women have well into their 40s to conceive children. The reality is that the chances of women over 40 getting pregnant at all are somewhere less than 10%- you're more likely to get into Harvard. And each year the chances continue to drop. I'm not trying to rain on your parade (or anyone elses) but again, I worry that we women are encouraging ourselves (and each other) to ignore facts and science, in favor of hope and luck. Everyone thinks that they'll be the exception, but very few actually are.


I disagree this. We don’t know what the reality is, because very few women try to get pregnant in their 40s. I have been pregnant twice in my 40s and have two healthy children. Natural pregnancies.
Misinformation like this si why so many women have oops babies/abortions in their 40s.

Way off topic for this thread. Start a new thread. But to answer your question, of course you can transfer your records (and get copies for yourself) at any point.

WOW. Who has that much money - and time - to spend on natural cycle? That means she probably was at it a few years. Somewhere she probably should have considered moving to donor egg, ideally somewhere with high success rates. Could have saved a lot of time and money.


but the baby wouldn't be genetically related to her. lets not pretend that that factor does not exist.


For some people, it really doesn't. We adopted our first child, but went with donor egg IVF for our second. We actually selected a donor of our daughter's ethnicity (which isn't the same as mine) so that the siblings will have that in common.


WOW - this is incredibly thoughtful of you. What an amazing gift you have given your children.

Obviously, she is not one of those people.

I don't know. The good thing about natural cycle is that you can cycle every month. And it's really not that expensive. So she probably spent about as much as she would have with a DE guarantee program.[/quote]

Yes to this. Also, it's none of our business why she chose to persist. It worked for her - great.

NCIVF costs $4900 for patients greater than 37 years old, still a bargain if you have to do multiple cycles compared to regular IVF.
