Worried about this process

I started this process about a year ago. Went through several testing, Xray's and ultrasounds to ensure I can get pregnant.
I am 34 Years Old, Single, and I have bad luck with men. I have waited for as long as I possibly can to find the one, but it has not happened. I am approaching 35, and I have always wanted to have a baby. At first, I wanted to wait closer to 40, but according to my doctor, my pregnancy would be harder.
So now I decided to go along with this process, but I am worried. Is it recommended to have a baby on your own? I am financially stable, and can care for a child on my own. I have limited family supports, but I think if you want something bad enough, you can make it work.
Any single women who have similar stories.
My ultimate goal was to meet someone, but it has not happened, and I have no current spouse. Plus if I did meet someone, I am almost sure, it would take months to decide if you want children with that individual.
I know this is a hard decision, but I feel like if i don't go along with it, I will miss the opportunity to have a child.

Personally I am 33 and ready to start a family and am able to care for my babe. I am 5 weeks pregnant and am already over the moon in love with this child.
kimber - I am going on IUI four unfortunately. Had an etopic for last one so I had to take three months off.
My support system is eh. My mother was initially really supportive. Then when I had the etopic she freaked out and said i shouldn’t be doing this. Etc. So actually I’ve told three friends and two are very supportive. One never asks about it but she’s a single
Mom choice too. I’m not sure why she never asks me so I don’t talk to her about it. I think once that baby is here you’ll have lots of support. The process itself though is so daunting to many people because they don’t understand. But once they see a baby, how it got here doesn’t matter. Keep us posted on your process and I’ll be praying for you.
A woman on the forum trying at the same time had several IVF failures. Did a Hail Mary IUI rather than totally sitting out one cycle and she has a two year old now. You just never know.
In the beginning I never thought I would have been willing to go as far as donor eggs. This process if you aren’t one of the lucky ones who get pregnant quick, will either convince you to do anything or that you can be satisfied you gave your best shot but need to move on. It’s a heart wrenching rollercoaster. But in the end... 100% worth it.
I really wanted donor 5417, but he has no vials left. I am on the waiting list. Hopefully I hear back by next month.
