Hi I'll be 41 at my next birthday this September, already got twin boy and girl age 3 now. But, do me and the hubby try once more as we have frozen embryo's 3aa & 3ab still in freezer. I would love to have 3/4 kids but finance, house size, car size and money and age holds me back. Should I just call it a day and be forever grateful for the twins I have or try again???
What you guys all think????
Xx
Might be worth marking this as sensitive in the title? Also there have been several posts this week with almost exactly the same question (2 children already, whether to try for 3) which could really help people know IVF doesn't have to be one and done and I'm sure people in a similar situation will respond on here or PM, but you could also search those recent posts as there were some helpful answers and advice.
go ahead, if your heart desires more children do it!! I have 2 but want more. I’ve restarted my egg collection. Wong transfer until the end of the year though
That's entirely up to you! As long as the children are loved, the house, car, etc., doesn't matter. You could always donate the embryos if you'd rather go down that route too x
I’m 43 and pregnant with my first through IVF - so don’t let age put you off! x
Hello can I DM you, I just turned 43 and about to do first EC in 3 weeks, and starting to feel all the nerves. It would be good to feel connected to someone else same age as me x
Of course ☺️ x
Congrats dear. Did you use any supplements or HGH during IVF or did your freeze your eggs at a young age?
I was one of the posts contemplating what to do with our last remaining embryo after already having 2 children. I am asking myself all the same questions and I cat tell you that standard 5 seater car will fit 3 baby seats (our friends just did it) and your 3 children won’t care how big your house is, what they need is your time and love.
Not sure if that’s helpful at all but that’s how far I got with those worries ☺️
It’s a difficult decision. Different difficult to being at the beginning of ivf. Less worring because we have our babies but still eating us away because of the struggle we have been through - the embryos are also our babies. The guilt, the curiosity, the complexity.
You know what, I am in excactly the same boat. Boy/girls twins aged 2. We have been putting off the decision making and will keep putting it off until October, when we either have to pay for storage again or destroy embryos.
On the plus side, I would love to know what it feels like just to have one baby to look after. 
I am sure twin mommas know what I am on about. And perhaps have a normal pregnancy and natural birth.
On the negative side, I am not sure I would ever want to get on the IVF rollercoaster financially or emotionally again. And I am note sure taking my babies on that roller-coaster is fair on them. We also run our own business so staying at home has been hard for both me and my husband and I am not sure we can afford to do that again.
And of course the biggest worry, what if it is twins again.
As I am already 41, I think in the end it is no for us, or we will just use not contraception and surrender to the fertility gods. We had unexplained feritlity, so in theory it could happen.
But I totally get it and I have been surprised how attached I have become to those 3 embryos in the freezer. I mean we used 7 before that, which lead nowhere and I never even thought of them as babies.
Update *may be sensitive for some*
