5 babies/day conceived by women over 50
"A lot of perimenopausal [women] are unaware of the facts surrounding pregnancy during menopause. More than 60% of unintended pregnancies in women over 40 are aborted." Source
So if the babies born were only 40% of the total conceived, doesn't the above study show that about 1,350 babies could have been conceived by women over 50 between 1997 to 1999???
Or maybe even more, because the risk of miscarriage is supposed to be something like 90% - so if that 539 live born babies was only 10%, then perhaps something like 5,390 babies were conceived by women over 50!!
Which would make about 5 babies conceived every single day in women over 50! The vast majority of them, without medical assistance.
"Chances of pregnancy are lower in your menopausal years than during your 20's and 30's. By the time you are 40, your chances of becoming pregnant naturally are reduced by 50%. This percentage continues to decline the older you get. However, you are not completely infertile until your periods have stopped for at least one complete year. In fact, two-thirds of women between the ages of 40 and 44 ovulate regularly during perimenopause." Source
