Hi Karen, one other back-up option you may not be aware of, that would let you have babies even if you cannot use your own eggs, is via an egg donor. The IVF people take your husband's sperm and use it to fertilize a donated egg which is then implanted into you, so you carry this baby to term within you. I have a friend of a friend who has just a lovely little boy this way, and is madly in love with him. Her donor was in Melbourne, which I think is where you live, If you want more info about the organisations involved, please feel free to PM me.
