You need birth control during menopause

I've come across TONS of medical articles on the internet, warning women they still need to use birth control during menopause!

Because some women DO get pregnant during menopause.

It seems odd these same medical experts aggressively tell older women they can't get pregnant.

They talk out of both sides of their mouths.

It is becoming clearer to me many older women are fertile - but society wants to make us think otherwise.

The Belated Baby: A Guide to Parenting After Infertility
by Kelly James-Enger and Jill S. Browning

-- Infertility is a mindset and every woman who experiences infertility is forever changed, even when she eventually has the child she yearned for.

When many women who have gone through fertility treatments describe their experience, they say it abused their soul.

The experience may have also hurt their relationship with their husband, and sometimes permanently altered relationships with their extended families.

Studies show even after the desperation of infertility subsides, emotional wounds still fester, and an asterisk accompanies her bundle of joy.

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.
