In the U.S., it has NEVER been documented of a women 45 and over, conceiving a child naturally using her own fertilized eggs, carrying a child to term and giving birth to a healthy baby. Never.

So even if you did get pregnant OP, your chances of miscarrying the child are already at 50 per cent. Then your odds drop at actually carrying it to term.

I wouldn't waste any money on buying Plan B. The Morning After Pill makes you nauseous as heck plus at your age it wouldn't make sense.

Hahaha! Talk to my mother. She had #7 at age 46 naturally. All the doctors told her to abort. My youngest brother is fine and heading off to college next year.

Never? Are you insane? What kind of "research" did you do? Did you actually get a passing grade on that nonsense?

Um, no, but thanks for playing.

My grandmother was 45 and accidentally pregnant with her last child.

Chances of a woman over 45 conceiving and carrying to term is around 1% in any given month.
That doesn't sound like much, but to put it into perspective, at what many women consider peak fertility, at 30, the odds are only 20%.

I could break out some other statistics for comparisons purposes, but I'll just say that 1% a month is No where near zero.

I know so many women who have surprise babies in their mid-forties. Mine happened at 43. Lower odds do not equal no odds. Just as we tell our kids, it only takes one time.

In the above, the writer miscarried, but a look at the comments suggest pregnancy late is common

My ex's mother had his youngest sister when she was 46 or 47. They were dirt poor farmers living in Mexico so this was not an IVF/donor eggs situation.

My great-grandmother had her 12th kid at 46.

I seriously hope you got an F on that paper. I'm from the Philadelphia area and went to a Catholic university, I know many people born to women in their 40s, including to those 45 and over. My own grandmother had an unexpected baby at 47, 16 years after her last baby.

I got pregnant last June at 45. I ended up miscarrying. I had my first and only DC right after I turned 44, so it wasn't a surprise that I was pregnant and also that I miscarried.

Hahahahahahaha! Your research skills suck. I know two people who are 50/60 who are the children of mothers who had them at age 46 and 48. Others have obviously chimed in as well.
