Twins at 50 using her own eggs

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Tuesday, June 23, 2009 | 0 comments

I know a woman who had twins at 50 using her own eggs! She was the talk of DC back in 1994... however, they needed some assistance (drugs).

I think some people can produce good eggs much later in life, but not most. And this woman smoked when she was younger, although she was very healthy and not overweight.

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.
