Aeryn, just wanted to lend my IVF support. I was fortunate enough to get pregnant on the first IVF try…at 39! My daughter is now 10. The retrieval was the hard work, implant was absolutely a breeze. The one thing I loved about IVF was that I knew I was possibly pregnant from day one, so I was able to keep a really clean diet, no drugs, or alcohol, etc. My daughter was almost 10 lbs, and today she is tall and lean and healthy.
I went through it in NYC. I know the state is strict about how many they will let doctors implant which I guess makes sense with advanced age. I wish you all the luck in the world, it is truly a miracle!
