Like you, if I pay double for a first successful cycle, I will gladly do so as that means I'll have a real-life baby.Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06085283320884411888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-17063650512029798302008-09-05T16:53:00.000-07:002008-09-05T16:53:00.000-07:00Lorraine, wanted to pop in and wish you the best. ...Lorraine, wanted to pop in and wish you the best. It's so difficult after 40, I know (I'm 41; 42 in December). I had one cycle with my own eggs 6 months ago and it was a disaster - I didn't even have enough eggs to get to retrieval (only 2) so we did an IUI which is...well...worthless at my age!<BR/><BR/>I was so disheartened to learn how truly miraculous it is for a woman over 40 to actually get pregnant with her own eggs in this day and age. I couldn't believe it so I spent WEEKS combing through the web, infertility support groups for women over 40. It was tough to hear but I recovered quickly and chose an alternate path with very few tears.<BR/><BR/>You're obviously a tougher lady than me and I wish you the best. <BR/><BR/>May you be rewarded with a beautiful, healthy, bouncing little bundle sooner than later! :)Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288560043939554132noreply@blogger.com
