One of the guys I e-flirted with a lot was 53 and stated in his profile that he definitely wanted to have another kid but also that he wanted to date women between 40 and 52. My un-stated thought was "I hope you have $20,000 put away for IVF because even if the body stays hot those eggs get old."
guess what? its gonna take a whole lot more than that. the 20 grand will cover the cost of the donor eggs, cuz at 42, they're already old. then on top of that, it'll likely take multiple attempts, @20grand apiece before it works...if ever. pet peave of those that have been through it: the stuff they put on tv leaves a very bad (inaccurate) impression on the general public. IVF is not a cure for old age, which is what they strongly imply w/ these older women having babies. They never say that the eggs came from a younger woman. never. don't know why...anyway, last I heard (and there undoubtedly newer info out there by now...but this is just in the last few years) there hadn't ever been a successful ivf w/ anything older than 43 (with the woman's own eggs).
