Conception

Running out of time - would IVF work?

Bit of background. I am just 45, have three children and for various reasons, desperately want a fourth.

I got pregnant 10 months ago and was pregnant for a few weeks. I've read that illness can lead to miscarriage so it could have been that (high temperature etc).

I feel time is running out. Could I have IVF using my own eggs and DH's sperm? would they consider it in a woman of my age. If so:

How much would it cost?

Would I be using up the eggs I have left quicker (if egg production was stimulated) and therefore run out of eggs sooner?

How long does it take to set up?

Many thanks

Meant to say - conceived the other three quicker than average for my age, so was reasonably fertile once, but been trying now for many months.

I would read the HFEA's website re clinics and treatment options as they are the governing body that regulates fertility treatment:-

www.hfea.gov.uk

It also gives information on how to choose a clinic.

I will not BS you, time is not at all on your side here.

Thanks Attila. I know time has really run out rather than is running out :-(
