Hi everyone,
I became a mother at 19 and was a single mother raising a son. At 18 he was in a car accident and I've lost my boy. I thought I would never have children. Being lonely this grief has doubled to me. Years after it's still very painful to remember that I can't stop crying.
2 years ago I've met a man who soon became my husband. I've never loved like this before. But he wants a baby and says I even can deliver a baby on my own! I'm 45 but he says it's still possible. His sister had IVF and she says I can have it too.. But she is 30 not 45. Does anyone know if it's even possible? Or this is crazy at this age? Thanks

Hey, I am extremely sorry to hear about your loss. This must have been really hard for you to cope with. You can for sure opt for IVF. There are a few things that you should check before opting for it. Firstly, make sure that the doctor you visit is operating at a high success rate and is experienced. Secondly for IVF few things are important, these include that your uterus should be functioning. Other than you should be producing eggs. However, if you are not producing eggs you can opt for DE option.

Hey Marianna! First of all, I'm really sorry. It's good that you wanna move on. It is healthy for you. So you are 45. IVF is really helpful but the age factor will still count. I think you should consult a professional. IVF can't eliminate the age related changes. If I were you, I would go with surrogacy. But I'll be hoping that my eggs are viable. I can't stand that the child I'm bringing up is not mine biologically. That's why I can't go with adoption either. There is just too much emotional chaos involved. I can't take a child through it. I know it's a difficult situation. But consulting a professional is the best option. People here are helping you every way they can. But there best is limited. I hope the best for you and your family.

Hi there! I hope you are doing well. I am really sorry for what you have been through. Yes, you can still become a mother. The sister is right, you can go for IVF. But in my opinion, it's better to opt for DE. The chances will be more for you then. But to make it work you should do some research about clinics. Clinics play an important role in these treatments so it's better to opt for a clinic with a high success rate. I also my babies through surrogacy so if IVF is not working out for you go for surrogacy. Both treatments are quite successful so don't worry. Good luck! Stay blessed! Bye!

Hey Marianna! I hope you are doing well. I know how hard it is for you. It's possible if your healthy enough. IVF is a wonderful treatment. But so unpredictable as well. It also depends a lot on the clinic you are opting for. If the clinic is good enough then it will make anything work for you. If the clinic is bad like L**** and A***** then all you will get in return is pain. So make sure you do your research on clinics before opting for anyone. Good luck. Stay blessed. I hope things work out for you. Bye.

I don't think you should be going for IVF at this age. It could get complicated. You could, however, have a baby through other ways though. You should talk to your doctor about this. See if this is something you can go for. Don't be so sad. You will be a mother one day I'm sure. Good luck.

Hello Dear! It’s really such a terrible story. I’m afraid of imagining what you could feel. It’s not just a painful experience. It’s literally a true hell. You have to be so strong to overcome it. I know another story of a couple from Dallas. They were older than 50 when their only son got into road accident. He died after all. I can’t actually say what it was for them. All details aren’t that important here. Perhaps they spent a year without taking any steps. It was a year of their grief. Then they decided to try surrogacy as the final straw. It became the only option to succeed for that couple. Happily, they did it and now they raise wonderful twins. These guys will be quite old when their boys go to college. However, they gave birth to them. Their will was enough strong to do it.

Age is never an issue. Just find the right clinic. Perhaps you will need to travel t another country. Not every law allows older women undergoing IVF. Even if we are talking about surrogacy. We are with World center of baby and it is pretty common to see older couples getting tx there. So, it is still fine for you to go ahead and sign for the tx.

Your post brought tears to my eyes. I'm very sorry to read about your struggle, dear. You've been through so much. You deserve every happiness in the world. I'd like to tell you that it surely is a true thing that delivering a baby after the age of 40 can be complicated. There are a lot of stories of which this fact is based upon. If you are a healthy active woman, you can do it. But, I must say that it will be a miracle if you're able to conceive a baby. The quality of your eggs starts to decline after the age of 40. IVF is a painful procedure, and in most cases, it's worth it. If you consult a doctor, I bet he might also be suggesting you do not do this to yourself. You can always consider adopting a child. Also, the world is advancing. Methods like surrogacy help you have a biological baby. Think about it. Good luck!

I am really sorry to read about your loss. I can imagine how hard it would have been for you. I would advise you to look into a mitochondrial donation. It is a process for people who have reached the menopause stage as well. In the process, they will inject mitochondria from a DE. This will then be injected into your egg and will give it the energy that is needed for implantation. If you want more details in it let me know.

I am really sorry to read the story about how you lost your child. I hope you have recovered from it. However, I am glad you found the love of your life. I am sure this must have made you feel so much better. Your concerns are right! Age can be a factor that could cause issues. However, I would say that visit a doctor and get your screening done. They will after this tell you if you are a possible candidate or not. Other than that are you open to DE? You could consider IVF with DE as well. However, again the doctor will give a better insight on this. Make sure to visit the right clinic for your procedure. The better the clinic the more successful would be the process. Good luck to you! I hope things go well.

I am really sorry to hear about our loss. I believe you shouldn't lose hope and keep trying. Visit a good RE doctor and tell them your problem. They will help you out. Age is definitely a factor and therefore only after doing a screening they will determine if IVF would work for you or maybe surrogacy. If you need help regarding the clinic let me know. The clinic I am visiting is doing a great job at this. Good luck to you.

I can't say anything too much. It really depends on your situation. If you are producing good amounts of follicles and eggs than yes I believe you can opt for it. My advice to you would be to visit the right doctor for the process. They will make sure that things work for you. I am saying this from my own experience. Things are going really well and the main reason for that is a good clinic. I am really hoping for the best now.
