Hi everyone
I am really new on here and have joined for support and honest answers if possible as I cannot find answers myself. I have one beautiful son, conceived quickly. He is now 3. However I am now single and going down the donor insemination route via a clinic in the north. I am healthy as far as I know and all fertility tests have come back great.
My question is this, am I wasting my time even thinking about trying to conceive via IUI or IVF at my age, 42, in summer? Are my chances really low at 13.9% as stated by the HFEA website or does it depend upon each individual woman and how healthy she is?
I am in a tizz as this is already an emotional rollercoaster and I don't want to waste upwards of thousands of pounds if my chances are just rubbish...I want to be as realistic as possible so advice from others would be appreciated.
Anyone my age ever succeeded?
Thanks x
