I'm so glad to hear it! If you don't get pregnant naturally, which you could, can't they retrieve your own eggs and fertiiize them externally with your husband's sperm, then implant them in you with appropriate hormonal support?
Pregnancy at any age is really easy and natural; our bodies are made for it, and it's a wonderful experience. You really don't need to worry about it health-wise, as serious complications are very rare. I'm assuming you're about 37-40, so the hardest thing might be that they will want to do a C-section. Those aren't too bad. they make a four-inch horizontal incision at the bottom of your tummy. You are up and walking the next day, and after about three weeks feel back to normal. In between, you have pain in the incision, but you feel otherwise well and can do everything except maybe not lift very heavy things.
Good luck to you! It would be wonderful to see a post that you are pregnant, by whatever means!
And thank you for your empathic comments about the deaths in my family. I am doing my best to find a way to grieve in my therapy, and I have made progress and developed better coping skills. Still, I often just go nto a sort of blank, dazed state about it all.
