[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh I don't believe they are being honest with you. Not that it matters, but that's more likely a donor egg than a natural pregnancy and they just don't want to tell anyone.[/quote]

+1. My grandmother had her last baby at 46, but she’d had a few kids by then. First baby naturally at 45? Possible but not probable.[/quote]

It's all genetics, so who knows. A friend got married at 40 and proceeded to have three children between then and age 45. Fertile genes![/quote]

Right, but then her baby at 45 wasn't her first. I'm happy for OP's friend but remain doubtful it was done without intervention. I say this as someone who had both her kids in her 40s.[/quote]

PP again. I guess my point is that even a really good friend may not know the whole story and posting it on a TTC forum as a success story is a bit disingenuous. [/quote]

OP here.  Wow, did not expect so much petty to leap out as a result of a benign, good news post. But to the PP.... I wasn't there at conception so yeah, I don't know 100%.  But I'm as reasonably sure as can be that my friend has no cause to lie, so I believe her.  Also, this entire board must cause you to reel in disbelief so frequently it must feel like an inner ear problem since most stuff on here can't be independently verified.    [/quote]

I don't understand the hate on here. Women have babies naturally at 45. Not everyone needs IVF to conceive later in life. There were women in my family who had babies in their late 40s before IVF was even around. [/quote]

My grandmother had her first at 43 and second at 45 in the early 50s. Obviously, no IVF. Fertility is weird like that. My friend had one at 41, second at 43, third at 46, and a pregnancy scare at 50 (no intervention whatsoever for any). I had a few friends going through IVF in their 20s. Age is only one factor. I tend to think genetics dictate a lot.[/quote]
