single TTC, 45yr ready for DE

by Arjay18, Oct 01, 2009 02:24PM
I finally decided to allow myself the mourning over not conceiving a child with my own genes. I tried 4 iuis 1 ivf (and a partridge in a pear tree...phew it certainly has been a long road).
I purchased 6 vials of sperm specimen from CCB and now i have one vial left. Should i give up the "one last try" and go ahead with the DE?
How do we know when to give up?
It's such a loss and yet,
my chances are just a few points over 0% to have take-home baby.

I read a lot of posts here and am so grateful to the brave women who went with DE. It has encouraged and gladdened me immensely. Why am i still agonizing that "just one more try" thing?

Hi Arjay,
sorry I am not familiar with the DE abreviation but still wanted to respond. I would give it one more try to be able to say "I've done all I could" because you might always wonder if that one might have just been it. Also, to increase your chance would you consider a donor egg?
Hope your wishes come true.
