Good morning ladies.

I have two questions for you all that I thought I'd post for discussion:

1) To anyone with AMA (advanced maternal age) and/or past m/c, has your RE ever recommended trying donor eggs? I know using your own is of course the ideal, but was curious if anyone's RE had ever brought this up as an option to improve your chances for success.

2) What is the most annoying thing that someone's said to you about not having children (or not having a second child)? Here's mine, which I heard last week from a friend, who I know was trying to be supportive. She asked if we had considered adoption and I told her that adoption, like fertility treatments, is also a long and expensive process. So she offers the following opinion on adoption: "Adoption doesn't have to be a long process. My neighbor adopted a child from Russia. She told us that she was going there to adopt and then before we knew it she brought home a child. We couldn't believe how quick it all was." And I'm thinking that first of all, that has nothing to do with my husband and I wanting another biological child and second, I can tell that you have no idea what the actual process your neighbor went through was. Oh well, I know she meant well...
