Use donor sperm & donor egg to reduce your risk of miscarriage and Down syndrome

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that there is still a chance that you can conceive if you still have regular periods. At 43 the risk of a miscarriage if you DO conceive is quite high and the risk that the baby might have a congenital anomaly such as Down's syndrome is quite high as well.
If you are aware of these things and willing to take the risk then go for it!
There are lots of options for antenatal testing now if you do conceive.
Good luck!
