My grandmother was 18 when she had her first child and 44 when she had her last.
I will not use IVF.
To me, the odds do not justify the cost and aggravation.
We are just thinking of trying the good old fashioned way and leaving it up to God.
That's up to you, but please....do not blame God if you end up childless. Too many orphaned and abandoned kids in this world need parents.
I was 17 when my dad and his wife had an OOPS baby. My dad LOVED it. He enjoyed every single thing about it. In your fourties you really have life on a string...financially and emotionally and he would have told you that, of everything, having my little brother was the greatest!
