I'm a 37 year old woman with 3 teenage sons. I was sterilised 15 years ago. What can be done to help have a fourth child?

I am 44 years old, I had a pregnancy last year but unfortunately miscarried at around 6 weeks. Shortly after this I had a blood test and an internal scan and was informed I am in the menopause, I would still like to have another child but need to know what options I have if any so I can talk to my partner before moving forward.

I am 45 years old and my partner is 42. I was sterilised 17 years ago and have a son from previous marriage. I long to have another baby with my current partner but finding the right treatment is difficult and I'm worried I will have to go to Valencia. Can you please recommend some options?

I will be 51 in January. I had four healthy pregnancies in my 20s. I had my tubes tied after my last child was born. Was in a 21 year marriage and now in a relationship with a man who has no children. He is okay if we do or if we don't. I would give anything to have another one. What are my options or am I just crazy thinking this way when I have four grown children? They say go for it and see what happens.

I am 47 years old and during my thirties had issues with myomas, ovarian cysts and endometriosis. I have had 5 surgeries and now at 47 I have a healthy normal uterus, occasional cysts that remedy themselves and my blood tests show no pre-menopause signals – although my right ovary sometimes looks a bit dormant on scans every so often.

Can you please advise on my possibilities of:

1. Natural conception

2. What is available IVF wise (I do not want to go down the donor egg route if possible but if you could advise the cut off age for this should I decide to reconsider)

3. What is the miscarriage rate for my age?

4. Would I require C section delivery and would I be looking at removal of my uterus as a result due to it having 5 surgeries (4 keyhole, 1 full) my last full surgery did give complications of infection.

I'm 42, nearly 43 & my partner is 30. I was pregnant with Clomid this time last year but miscarried at 7 weeks at the beginning of this year, Clomid did not work. My AMH read 6.43 in August - 2 private clinics advised me to go ahead with IVF but a family friend from this field said I'd be throwing my money away & stand just the same chance (i.e. not much chance) of conceiving naturally with Clomid but that donor egg is my greater chance. I understand DE is more likely to succeed but just can't get my head around it - I'm scared if I try again with Clomid I'll have lost more time & will be too late to go donor egg route. Is there any point me still trying IVF? Also no one seems to be able to advise me. I am extremely stressed in my job - would removing this element of life help at all? One clinic diagnosed me with high level killer cells too but I've since been told there are no proper studies to back up this theory?

Sorry to ask so many things - I'm just confused by all the different opinions to my one situation. Many thanks

Just wondering am I too old for IVF? I am 42 and had twins 6 years ago through IVF. Now I'd like another baby but have I left it too late?

Hi, I'm 40 and I have 5 living children. I've never had a miscarriage, my husband is 27 and his semen analysis was good. I had my tubes clipped, tied and burned. What are my chances of having a successful IVF using my own eggs?
