Hi everyone, I'm so glad I've found this forum and this thread.
I am 41 and feeling so low because I am desperately hoping for a baby and I know time is running out
I had my first baby naturally with my ex partner after years of trying, (we've since split) 4 years ago and ever since I knew I wanted another. The urge has been so strong and it's on my mind constantly. I have decided to go it alone and make one last attempt at a sibling for my child and to fulfill my dream while I still have a slim chance. I've wasted too many years sadly, with men who didnt want children and I wish I'd made this decision earlier in life.
I suffer from 'unexplained' infertility, sometimes ovulating, sometimes not and when I did try with my partner for another child, after a year TTC, nothing happened. I'm looking for a donor now, as I can't afford to go to a clinic, and I know time is too precious to try to find a new man in my life. I'd rather just focus on my child and hope for a miracle to expand our little family.
I'm pretty sure that the chances of conceiving by AI in these circumstances is low, but I'm hoping for some support and inspiration from all these lovely ladies on here.
My biggest hurdle, seems to be finding a donor. I've looked on the forums and no luck in my area so far.
We have recently moved to Milton Keynes, Bucks. Is anyone else in this area?
I'm also really scared as to trusting a donor, because they are after all total strangers and you do wonder how genuine they are.
Good luck ladies, hope someone will come along and chat soon. Hoping to hear of success stories, particularly with ladies over 40!
