in TTC after 35
Hi everyone!
I am 38 and my wife is 43. My wife has a 12 year old daughter, which was conceived through IUI and Donor Sperm, and we also have a 22 month old daughter together. My wife has been an Egg Donor three times, and she has had ten 'batches' of her own eggs frozen. To have DD, we had IVF using my sperm and one 'batch' of DW frozen eggs (got pregnant with DD on first try!). We are having assisted contception again, and are again having IVF using my sperm and DW frozen eggs, but have been told that the likelihood of DW being able to carry again is very low, and have been advised to look for surrogates if the first round of IVF does not work, as it will save time.

I don't see why your wife would have trouble if her eggs were retrieved at a younger age and you are doing IVF. But I'm no expert. But I hope you are successful.
And @KirstenAlecia I wouldn't judge you if a brick did hit your husband. Lol

@hooligans4 The problem isn't the age of my wife's eggs. She has a very small amount of irremovable scar tissue on her womb which some got after having DD which will probably stop her from being able to carry a child.
This will be my first cycle using donor eggs next month. I am so thankful for women like YW. What an incredible gift she is giving to help others have a child.
I'm also on the Third-Party Reproduction board and there are a few ladies using a surrogate so if you and YW have any specific questions you can introduce there too! Both boards are awesome!!
Good luck to you
