Ive been debating if I'm too old to have another baby. I am 46 soon 47 by the end of the year! I have 2 frozen embryos that I can't get my mind off. I seen that Janet Jackson is pregnant at 50 BUT she's a millionaire and will probably have a ton of Nannies to watch her child! I'm not as lucky financially. My husband and I both work and we have 2 other children.
So what do you guys think???? I would love to hear your suggestions/thoughts/opinions. Thank you

You should follow your heart. I am 44 and turning 45 and the mother of a 17 month old from donor eggs. We also have one embryo in the freezer. We are not rich by any means. We spent most of our savings trying to have our daughter as it was all out of pocket. And I got laid off from my job in January so with all the above we have decided not to go forward with another baby. I also threw up until now gave birth and we are tired! But I do struggle with not giving my daughter a sibling. But in the end, I want to give our daughter everything! I think this is the better option for us. I know how hard it is. Go with your gut and what's right for you and your family. Wishing ubext of luck

Have you talked to your RE about it? Sometimes they can help and give you a time frame and what to expect, mine helped me and kept telling me I wasn't too old to try for another! To do another cycle is a couple thousand with my RE so it is not an outrageous amount like the first time. We are not rich. My husband and I both work. I am currently pregnant for the second time at age 42, I'm due in a few weeks. We have one more frozen embryo and of course I am already thinking about if I will be able to do another transfer. I get it. Go with your gut and your heart. Keep us posted.
