When would you say, in your opinion, would have been the best time to freeze your eggs and when the best time to try IVF? I'm 28 and I'm considering freezing my eggs before 35, ideally sooner than later, but I wasn't contemplating IVF until quite a bit later than that. When would you have liked to do it, looking back? I'm also considering adoption, btw, I'm open to that too, but it would have to be much later and, honestly, I don't know if I'll ever meet the standards for an agency (I know they're usually stricter in terms of things like home ownership and such).

The sooner the better.

The age when you do IVF doesn't matter as much as when you freeze your eggs. The age of the eggs matters the most...so the sooner, the better...if you can afford it. And the main things most agencies are looking for are good character, stability, and not enormous debt....no necessarily home ownership. I bet you'll be fine:-)

Financing to adopt a kid seems morally inhumane!!!
