Can I Get Pregnant At An Elder Age?

Hello Doctor, I am a 45 y.o. woman turning 46 in 3 months. I have always been in superb health except and on and off depression and anxiety. I have had my hormone tested to evaluate the quality of my eggs for fertility at 42 and the doctor had said that I was able to conceive. Unfortunately, I kept waiting the right man which I didn t meet yet. Now, I am going through a crisis every time I have my cycle I think of how many eggs I am loosing. My cycle is regular but noticed a change, e.g. they are heavy for two days then very light the rest of cycle. Also, I have fibroids that made my cycle heavier but less than four years ago. I am sad that I am not a Mom and start thinking that I may still have a chance. I want to freeze my ovules and am following a diet that enhance the quality of the eggs (Maca, Wheatgrass, etc..) and not sure I will find a clinic that will accept freezing my eggs at this age. I feel that my health is that of a 30 y.o woman, at least that what my doc thought of it at age 42. Please let me know if there is a chance for me to have a baby at this age and what are my options if any :) Thank you and have a nice day!

Hi, you can freeze your eggs , but the thing is that you will need sperms to fertilise it. Also the quality of eggs can be poor in your case due to age factor. So, I think you should hurry up in deciding what to do.
