It's either a donor egg or it isn't. At her age, it most likely is. What does confirmation one way or the other matter?

personally I am curious. I am pregnant naturally at 45 which is obviously different from 48 but even at 48 pregnancies do happen.

How can I make it happen at 48?? Tell me!

learn when you ovulate (if you can) and have sex one day before that. it might happen or not (which is true at any age).

they do happen but its less than 2% for an actual birth at that age.

maybe. nobody actually knows these probabilities (they are impossible to calculate because we don't know how many people are trying, how many are using contraception etc). i don't know why people are throwing these statistics around.

People ar quick to quote numbers based on a population of women who have compromised fertility- women who don't have trouble having children don't visit fertility clinics. They are the population left out of most of these statistics.

NO, these fertility stats are based on studies of random women. The researchers prospectively followed a cohort of random women who are trying to conceive. Not infertile women.
Pls know what you're talking about before you post.

No, most of the oft quoted stats are certainly not.

Same thing happened to my neighbor- also at 47. Found out at 5,5mo pregnant. Had a healthy baby girl.

I know the late 40’s pregnancy fascination for me is wondering if you really can still get pregnant naturally at 48 meaning I can’t stop using birth control yet.

this is not true. i actually read a lot about this. the biggest studies follow groups of women you are trying to conceive, not "random women". there are also studies of births records from 18, 19th centuries.

Do these people think they'll live to see grandchildren?

I seem to recall one of the more reliable studies followed a group of Amish/Mennonite (?) women because those ladies try to procreate until they cannot and it was a big enough cohort to get meaningful data.

Their kids probably will care. It means the world to me that my parents got to know my children well and that my kids will have memories of their grandparents.

I know there are no guarantees, but I secretly wish maybe I had started about 5 years earlier so my kids could have been around my parents through their teen years. My nephews were all in college when my parents passed. My own kids, while they will have memories, were 10 and 12. My dad was such a great influence and he was their biggest fan, I really wished I could have watched that relationship even longer and I know he so wanted to see how they turned out.

Omg. SAME.

you have no idea how long anyone is going to live. I had 3 living great-grandmothers when I was born. They passed away when I was a teen. My older daughter got to know 2 great-grandmothers - one is 94 and still with us (my daughter is 12)

My husband knew only a couple of his grandparents. The men in his family seem to pass early. His dad just passed a couple years ago at 66.

I don't think you can make your childbearing decisions based on getting to have grandparents. I mean, it's nice and all, but there is just no way to assure children will get a long tie with grandparents

oops - long TIME, not tie

My grandmother lived to 94. Her daughters passed away at ages 69-74. No guarantees.

(We didn’t conceive naturally.). No woman who gives birth at this age is doing anyone a disservice by failing to tell others how they got there. Why? Because one persons experience is not relevant anyone else’s. Any one else trying to get pregnant at this age will be told in their first meeting with any RE what their personal options are and, in part, that will be based on actions you took in the past, like freezing eggs or embryos. So, for anyone at an advanced age that’s fretting over everyone else’s failure to disclose the intimate details of how they got pregnant, stop focusing on everyone else, start focusing on yourself, and become an active participant in resolving your own infertility issues by seeing an RE. And for anyone who wants to know just to criticize an older mom for having kids at this age ... ha! ... energy isn’t age specific ... and, if anything, having a kid at this age has been an energizing change in our lives.

Watching someone in a movie does not give you the right to be all up in her ovaries , none of your business, she does not owe you her medical records.

and yet.. so many people from the movies lecture us constantly on political and social issues and overnight rise to prominent advocates of whatever issue they happened to wake-up and care about that morning.

Dum A** a voting citizen speaking out about social and political issues that affect ALL OF US is not the same as you telling a famous individual to give up her HIPPA rights so you jump all up in her fallopian
Sss ... You sound stupid as heck!

to be honest i much prefer that barely literate celebrities would shut up on all issues. but no, there is no principal difference between them pinioning on hilary or trump or infertility. the odds are that, when they talk about IF they at least have some personal experience.

I feel the same way about many of the pundits and pols, but that doesn't stop them from pontificating bs in which they no naught. Heck, some of them even get elected as senators, governors, and presidents.
