Help what should I do?

Good morning

I had 2 unsuccessful attempts at ICSI with donor eggs a couple of years ago and we decided we would have one last try but then due to circumstances beyond my control our ivf journey had to be put on hold and we are unlikely to be able to move forward with another cycle until at least October this year. I am going to be 48 in July and my husband turned 50 in January this year so I feel our chances of success are slipping away from us. I am now at the stage of debating whether to just give up on having our own children and going straight for adoption as even if we managed a cycle at the end of this year I would not be giving birth until I was at least 49 and worry about being too old to manage child birth. I've always dreamed of having my own children and wonder if there are any ladies on here that have had success at a similar age? I'm also really scared my husband isn't 100% on board with the adoption option and am scared my dream of being a family is not going to happen. Don't really know why I'm writing this but know how supportive this community can be and hoping to find some sparkle of hope and inspiration for a way forward. Thanks for your help and hope your journeys are going well xx
