I meant to say thanks for answering my post, dusty!

My donor is 37...so time will become an issue. I am 38, but my body seems to think it is more like 48!

It really is very confusing, I thought I had moved on from wanting my child to be biologically mine, but it seems I haven't. Do you, or anyone understand why they don't start an IVF cycle if the FSH levels are so high? Is it dangerous or just very unlikley to work? I thought I understood but I can't seem to get it completely clear in my head.

ETA: I am a bit worried that I may have offended mums, dads and parents to be because of what I wrote above...I was speaking about how I felt right then in relation to donor versus non-donor eggs, I was having a difficult day yesterday-- and I wasn't making judgements about any one else's family, every child is a blessing and a miracle for every mum; and one day I hope to be one! Sorry if my tone came across as flippant or selfish.
