I’m 42. Single
I thought I was ok not to have my own child, I had always planned to adopt. Over the last couple of years, I’ve tried hard to ignore the physical ache of not having a child of my own. I did visit a fertility clinic in January and was told I would be in an ok position to start the process of fertility treatment with donor sperm. Since then I’ve been so up and down about whether it’s selfish to have a child this late, even if I desperately want one.
I don’t feel right now that I can talk to friends or family about it. The judging, and negative notions about becoming a mum so late in life.
Are there others out there that have gone through this process so late.
