Hello everyone:
I am 49 years old and I have always wanted to get pregnant with the man I love. For economic reasons and differences of opinions I lost the best time of my life to get pregnant. Now with so many advances in science, I wander if there is still hope for me. I have not had any period in about 2 years or more. I have been told that I am in menopause and have a small cyst in my right ovary. I have been to fertility clinics and the first doctor told me that he was going to have to run some tests. He did and I was not satisfied with his answer. I felt very uncomfortable going to him because while I was trying to get sonograms done he used me as a “guinea pig” in the room for another intern to learn about my organs without my permission. I had no choice but to let them finish doing what they were doing. I stopped going to him and later on found out that the Doctor had a brain tumor and had passed away. I decided to go to a second fertility doctor and she advised me to undergo IVF with an egg donor just before even an appointment was made. Tests were done after that and she found out that my FSH levels were high and I did not feel any empathy towards me from her. She later on told me that I was on perimenopause. A year went by and I was 48 years of age. I took another chance and went to this wanderful doctor who was very caring and had helped me and my husband to go through this issue together. He had perform tests where both my husband and I have been together in the patient’s room. I knew that I was in good hands. He told me that I had some eggs left in my left ovary and that he was going to do his best to help me and care for me during my pregnancy if it happend. He found a small cyst that has not grown any size at all, gave me a hormone test to see if my ovary would create more eggs but he said that nothing happened. I am still hopeful and just somehow might be living in a dream but I feel deep inside my heart that I can still get pregnant after all of this. I also had to go through therapy for the egg donors but I do not want to undergo egg donors pregnancy treatment.
If there is anyone who has been through this situation or similar please get back to me. Any support will help me cope with this situation.
Thanks

Caro

the last two questions are what came to my mind too…if all the eggs were born together when we are being made then which one gets absorbed…egg voting system made me laugh by the way LOL!!!

What determines the ’shelf life’ of an egg? If it is not released into the falopian tube how does your body decide which egg to absorb? Do they have some sort of voting system? lol.

I have a question – I was confused by the statement:

“Logically, then, if birth control prevents ovulation from releasing the egg into the fallopian tube, it would eventually just break down and be asorbed back into the body in the uterus.”

because the egg must travel down the fallopian tube in order to reach the uterus. So how does it get “logically … asorbed back into the body in the uterus” if it was never released into the fallopian tube?
