[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually did a research paper for my English #101 course a few years back on this very topic.

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.

+1 this is true.  I did some similar research.  [b]There are no documented cases for women over 45. [/b] Many of you have anecdotes regarding a 43 year old grandmother.  this is not the same.

We also discussed this at great length in one of my classes at college.  There was an overwhelming consensus in the class about this subject.  [/quote]

I agree. This is theoretical AND totally factual information here. I am quite shocked that there are posters on here that are trying to argue with this information.

Of course you will always have people who will claim they "knew" someone who had that miracle baby during menopause who came out healthy, etc.

But don't believe [u]everything[/u] you read online.

Or you may also believe that woman a few weeks ago who had that third breast. Wow. Just wow.  :shock:

It is virtually impossible for a woman who is forty-five to get pregnant naturally (no medical assistance at all), using her own fertilized eggs (not frozen), carry a baby full-term to forty weeks and give birth to that baby w/no health problems at a healthy birth rate. [b]Impossible.[/b] [/quote]

exactly.  I think what some of the posters are confusing is that their aunts, etc used someone else's eggs.

anyone can say their great grandmother had a baby after age 45 - i have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.[/quote]

You know donor eggs are a very new phenomena, right?  My grandmother who had my dad at 45 certainly didn't use them.  I didn't use them to have my dd at 44.  Did you not see the study pp linked to?  Why is it so hsrd to believe a woman can have a baby at 45?  It's certainly not common, but it's definately not impossible.   I'm not sure why the fact that you don't personally know anyone who did is more valid than the evidence from posters who do.   [/quote]
