jroh0011 on "IVF with own eggs at 46?"

Hi ladies. I don’t know what to do. Maybe some of you can help me.

I’m 46.1 years old and have the opportunity to start an IVF/PGD (using my eggs) cycle soon. I have 2 little girls, a 7 year old (natural conception) and a 23 month old from an IVF when I was 43.5 that was covered in full by my insurance. My insurance stops covering infertility at 45 so this cycle would be out of pocket for IVF and meds. Dh is not interested in adoption or donor so it would have to be my eggs only.

This cycle would cost us $16,000 plus about $5000 for meds. We can afford one cycle but is it really worth it? At my age, would I be throwing $21,000 out the window? I know there is at least a small chance but I just don’t know if I being crazy.

What would you do?
