Hear me out

Rate this Entry
I'm thinking of another pregnancy. This time with IVF. Am I crazy? Probably.

Surprisingly, I got over my GD pretty quickly this time. With DS3 it was awful; I didn't think I'd ever feel the same again. When I heard 'boy' a few days ago I was initially disappointed, true, but now I feel pretty good about it. It will be nice for DS3 to have a little brother!

The reason I'm even considering another pregnancy is because on the way home from the scan DH said, "I wish we could have even more children! I'd love to have a big family. I mean, if your body would hold out." So it's DH's fault, of course.

If I got pregnant after this pregnancy the rest of my family would probably disown me. My mother already thinks I'm having some sort of nervous breakdown, getting pg at 44 and all.

Well, it's just a thought. Who knows what will happen over the next few years? For right now, I'm going to enjoy the little one growing in my belly.

    Not crazy but your best bet is to try Microsort in Mexico. At 45+, you will make very few eggs but there you can have the option of adding MS which can make a huge difference with low numbers. You could do local monitoring and only travel if it looks like you have a decent number of eggs. I think someone posted that it is only 4,000 plus 1200 for MS which is really cheap for a cycle. Society for Assisted Reproductive Technologies shows the stats by age for IVF. It is difficult over 40 to say the least. If money is no issue, using MS with low numbers can work but you may have to try a few times.

    I don't think you're crazy Yuzu! I know of one lady who had a baby recently at 46, so it is possible.

    Would you consider an egg donor? I would def. do an egg donor if I were to do HT. Research is showing that your uterine environment is just as important as genetics, so the baby would still be yours in every way that mattered. ♥♥♥

    I love blaming everything on DH!

    I don't think it's crazy, I think it's crazy to stop a dream because of what limits others may have. You know what is best for you and your family! Sounds like your DH is a real catch though, and as long as he's supportive, then I would so go for it!
