It is possible for women in their late 40's, early 50's to conceive spontaneously

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Wednesday, November 29, 2006 | 0 comments

I have said this many times but will say it again -- In my community, women are having babies into their late 40's and they do not do DE [donor egg].

No woman, who is having her 11th child and who is living paycheque to paycheque, is going to be doing DE [donor egg], right? Can we agree on this???

You need to be aware that it IS POSSIBLE for women in their late 40's and early 50's to conceive spontaneously. This is a medical fact--if it were really SO bizarre, these women would all get into the Guinness Book of World Records, right?

The truth is that it is not impossible and not only that, it is apparently not all that rare either.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
