Please ladies your opinions.

Age 46, next month 47. Never been pregnant.

Last FSH 17.4. Everything else okish for my age.

No fertility issues, no PCOS or Endo but on Bromicriptine for raised Prolaction but normal levels now.

Health ok but been told pre diabetic so need to watch the Carbs.

OH against donor eggs and can't afford it anyway but i'm not against it.

9mths on Clomid, poss chemical, not sure could have been an evap line . Didn't always ovulate!!

2mths on Letrazole , last 2mths no period so just done 20mg of Norethisterone to hopefully start things off. Last 2-3mths being getting hot flashes especially at night so probably well into perimenopausal.

Used to be a size 8 now 10-12 with weight gain.

Am i clutching at non existant straws, would you call it a day and accept that it's to late and my body is just old. The dissapointment every month of not ovulating or a BFN gets harder. I don't have anyone to talk to. I feel very alone.

Please ladies what would you do if you where me ?

Thanks x

Oh Hun, this must be a really difficult decision for you and something only you can decide. But in all honesty I think everyone keeps going until there's really no hope at all and you don't sound like your there yet, otherwise you wouldn't need to ask the question 😀. The never ending TWW can make you so down, but if you can work through them and it's not having an impact on other parts of your life, you don't sound like your quite ready to give up and us lot on here are always here to talk to ❤️ x x

U could've written this for me! Yesterday me & OH had 'the talk' after our final ivf attempt with my own eggs failed last month.im 45...46 in January. He does not want to Persue any other avenues to have a baby.He is done.. I am devestated.i feel like I should be relieved in a way that the endless limbo land is over but I'm not, I still feel in limbo. Its a very hard journey that we are on my dear and u r not alone in it & I know it's almost impossible to reach that point of saying enuf is enuf if there's even a small glimmer of hope. here if u need to chat, any time xxx
