49 still want another ... donor eggs ? Too late

[Wish4another]

Hi there
2 miscarriages in last 2 years ( natural conception)
Still can’t move on . Only option now is donor eggs but is it too late ? Covid has added to the decision making dilemma too ... anyone tried this old ?
Many thanks and best wishes to all ttc xx

Hi midlife baby, that’s amazing, could I ask which uk clinic you used? We use one in Greece but I’ve had a failed and an early pregnancy loss, it maybe easier to do uk if we can afford another round thank you

Hello, sorry for the delay in replying. I used London Womens (Harley st) and the London egg bank, and did a package with access fertility which was 3 rounds for about £27k (plus other costs which weren’t included like sperm retrieval as my OH had a 25y old vasectomy :p ) and storage, some drugs etc. 1st round no preg, 2 mmc, new set of eggs, 1 single embryo…one absolutely perfect baby and now she is 3.5, the image of me! Good luck xxx

49 is a lot, but I understand you very well when you say you can’t move on. I’m the same.
Although I’m younger, at the end of 43, the feeling for a 2nd child (DE option for us) is constantly on my mind. It’s not going away for the last 4 years. If it’s not going away for so long, what’s the chance it will ever go away? Probably it won’t, and it will be at the back of my mind. It’s hard to live with it.
i don’t think counselling works for everyone. I’m strong minded, it had zero effect on me.
We decided we will try DE route.

Some of the comments on here! What's the relevance of whether she already has children or not? So if she hasn't it's ok, but if she has it's not? Bonkers!

What did you decide OP? If you're still longing for this join the Pregnancy and Motherhood over 50 group on Facebook. Lots of support on there.

Thanks for posting g this. Needed to see this today
