A women suffered 18 miscarriages and spent over $94,000 on IVF has finally become a mom at age 48. Lauren Warneford and her husband, Mark, age 55, both from Swindon, had been trying to have a baby for over 16 years. The couple went to a specialist to see why her pregnancies kept ending prematurely. Lauren was diagnosed with "killer cells" that were destroying the embryos while they were just a few weeks old. The couple had made up the unfortunate decision to just stop trying for a baby in 2010. But five years later Lauren knew she had to give herself one last chance and underwent embryo donation in 2015. Thankfully, the couple got pregnant and gave birth to their son, William, at 37 weeks in June last year by C-section. It happened 18 years after trying for a baby. "We're a perfect family now and I finally feel complete." Lauren says.
QUESTIONS:
1.) How would you feel after suffering from 18 miscarriages, with no luck?
2.) Would you keep trying for a baby after having 18 miscarriages? Why or why not?
My answers:
1.) I would feel absolutely devastated after suffering from even the first miscarriage. That would be awful.
2.) I don't know if I would keep trying after searching for every option I could think of because that would be hard to go through, especially 18 times.

Great job Enya!
I would feel sad, yet was waiting more than 10 years or 18 years the best decision, really if woman want a good pregnancy and want to get pregnant right away they should have them young like 30. After 30 lots of woman experience problems with having children. No because it would seem like a lot of sad emotions and It would probably hurt woman when they do have miscarriages like there body so no I wouldnt.
1. I would be crushed, and I would've probably given up by then, especially after hearing the news of killer cells. I'd consider adoption just to have the experience of raising a child.
2. No, I wouldn't. At least not a first. Maybe after awhile I could try again, after waiting for awhile and coming over the depressing state of mind I would have.
I would give up after three but if I did keep trying I would feel like a failure and disappointment to my husband
Like I said I don't think I would continue after even 3 I would probably just go ahead and adopt or get a surrogate mom
You are definitely right about that - if you couldn't have kids of your own, it would be very depressing, and even if you did adopt, it would still be really different from having your own kids.
I would feel horrible. The fact that i would not be able to successfully carry a child would hurt me very much. I would keep trying, because just like in this article miracles happen, and you never know if you may be able to be successful.
I agree with you one hundred percent with that. Even if you had a surrogate, it wouldn't be the same because you wouldn't get to experience being pregnant.
You are right about that - by miscarrying time after time, you would go through the same emotions over and over again, which would be horrible.
I would be devastated after trying to have a baby and being unsuccessful every time. I would not keep try because it would be really hard to got through any miscarriages.
I would feel terrible as well because even going through the first few miscarriages, that would be awful, but the fact that the babies are dying over and over again, that would be awful.
