You desperately know you've always wanted a 2nd child and it never went away ... tried but failed many times.... would you go for donor eggs and partner sperm and just do it ? Many celebrities do it late into 40s.... its now or never. I'm just thinking you regret the things you never did... aibu to just do it ? Has anyone you know or have you done this ??

At 47 the last thing I would want to do is "wallow in the light of my love child (sic)"

Also the increased risk of disabilities.

I was born to much older parents my father was early50s when I was born - he was a lovely man, but it definitely has negative impacts too. The less said about my mother, who was slightly younger, the better.

This is something I think about a lot - mostly while I'm still processing dreams I've had in the nights into some of the days. It's not a waking (or conscious) desire for me at 43 to give up being child free (biologically speaking at least) but I know that I would do so if I really wanted to, and I would embrace any soul who accidentally chose me. If you want to give love and life to a child then you should feel free to do so I think.
