Introduction!

My name is Ellie, DW is Helena. I'm 45, DW is 48.
I have my gorgeous daughter Tilde, who is 16, by my ex-husband, conceived naturally, but due to severe hemorrhaging I almost died giving birth, and was advised to to give birth again.
DW and I also have Nova, who is 7, together, who was conceived through IVF with donor sperm after failed IUI, with DW carrying, though she has since had to get a full hysterectomy. However, I wasn't allowed on Nova's birth certificate, and had to adopt her when LGBT adoption (and marriage) became legal in Norway on January 1st 2009. DW and I finally got married a day later.
We are now trying for a third child, and have been since February 2013. First using a surrogate, sperm donation and my eggs, but now with a surrogate and donor embryos.
However, we have agreed that if we have not managed to conceive by February 2015, we will stop TTC.
