Hi, I'm Val. I'm new on this site and am looking for other women on the same journey. I'll be making my babies on my own, choosing the single mommy route. I'm 41 and have always been focused entirely on work and career. Love my work. Never had time (or interest) in the baby-thing. Until it hit me this year. Oops. Hope the eggs aren't too old yet! That's my basic story. I was told by a veteran IVFer to introduce myself here, so that's the scoop!
Well done Val ! ... I don't think we've got any other single mommies at the moment ... Well, not off the top of my head anyway ..
You'll be pleased to hear that we've had lots of success recently in the over 40s club .. (you may have already found it ... there's a thread dedicated to 40+ on the general forum).
Also, we do have first cycle success stories ... ! Everything crossed !

Welcome aboard. There are lots of women on the same journey as you. Though differing circumstances but we are all gearing towards achieving the same goal. You have done great coming to the site, you will find a lot of wonderful girls. We will support you throughout your journey.
Thanks for your replies! I'm out here in Los Angeles and I guess there are a lot more of the single mom types around here. I have four different friends in similar situations doing IVF this year, one because of chemo, three others who (like me) were done waiting for Mr. Amazing to come along--so to speak--oooh, is that a bad joke?? .
Glad to hear 41 isn't too ancient! Got latest test results a few minutes ago. Follicles are right on schedule.
You sound like a happy cheery person Lovely that you have been introduced to this site.....
if you are doing the single mum thing....Are u using a Sperm Donor?
TTC 6yrs......Have jumped off the rollercoaster for now, too many BFN's and too much heartache, to keep going....Moving on to fulfil other dreams!!!
