I've made a decision...

[Petricker]

Lately I've been confused about what to do, which way to chose. I mean Ivf or surrogacy...I'm 46 yo and it doesn't mean I can't do anything to have my own child. I want to thank all of those who supported me, for your advices. I didn't know there are so many people who care, you know, who care for real! It was a great surpise. I'm glad I've found this forum and few others and I have new friends now.

Now I want to share the latest news with you. So, my husband and I decided to to have a baby by having de ivf treatment in Ukrainian clinic. I will have two more attempts and in case of unsuccessful results I'm going to move to surrogacy program and money spent on IVF would be the first 2 payments for surro.

Tomorrow we are going to contact our manager in order to arrange for our first consultation in the clinic. I'm so excited...

That's wonderful! Wishing you the very best of luck.

I was successful with De at 43, so it really does work.

I'll be interested in your journey, I'm on my last go with own eggs at 44 (nearly 45). Chances are very slim for us, I only have 2 follies growing and they may be empty like last time so I can't help but already think what do we do next x

Hun, we must believe, keep struggling, and stay positive - these are the only things left for us on our way to motherhood...

I'm going to update information about my future treatment and maybe I'll create my own blog. Who knows, it might be useful for someone. I'm glad to share my way with yours. Good luck to you! x

Thanks for your support! For my part, I wish you to clarify the things as soon as possible. There's no need to postpone it.

Yesterday I wrote to a manager of a clinic I chose...I was asked about my general state of health, age, previous attempts and all that stuff. So I'm going to fly there!! The appointment with a doctor is on 28 Nov. I'm nervous as hell... I couldn't even buy tickets at once and thought about cancelling it. Although I'm looking forward to that date I'm still scared..

Hope you guys are ok. xx
