I gave birth to twins by IVF at 47

I gave birth to twins last year, using in vitro fertilisation, at the age of 47. The pregnancy went well, I had a natural birth, and I've survived and enjoyed the first year.

Being older, you've generally done what you want to do, and are more content. So age doesn't really matter - one can die young or old.

    Have you had children before?
    How many eggs were retrieved?
    Did they all fertilize?
    How many tries of IVF did you try?
    Were you at all Perimenopause?

    Thanks

    i'm 47 this month and left it too late as didnt meet mr right. decided to try as a single parent but my age combined with FSH fluctuating between 9 and 19 the last 6 months and AMH 0.07 makes it seem impossible. should i spend up to 5k in Cz which is an option with cystoplasmic egg transfer. i'm told the chances of me responding to stims is very very very low. should i give up the ghost?
