Egg preservatin (IVF)

[ShyHijabi]

The problem, Aapa, is that pre-menopausal does not mean that the woman continues to ovulate. A 45-yr old woman, for example, may be "pre-menopausal" in that she continues to get her period, but she has already undergone ovarian decline. Fertility plummets sharply after age 40, but that doesn't mean that you wll enter menopause at that stage.

Bottom line, the old-fashioned way has a very poor chance of success if you are over 40 and are running out of eggs, or no chance of success if you have run out of eggs. Yes you hear of the occasional miracle of women in their mid-40s getting pregnant, but for every success story there are thousands of disappointments.

Exactly! People are always telling me they know this person that knows this person who had triplets at 50 but this is not the norm. Fertility begins to diminish at 35 for the majority of the female population. If I have any more children I will automatically be considered Advanced Maternal Age because I will be 35 soon.
