[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like many women who give birth in their 40’s.....
Especially the late 40’s are not being 100% real.

They likely are using either frozen eggs of their own or are using a donor egg.
It is next to impossible to get pregnant after 45 on ones own, carry the pregnancy to term for the full forty wks, then deliver a full-term baby, at a healthy birthweight w/no birth defects or Down Syndrome.

The only people that claim they or someone they know has done it is only people online.
And everyone knows that not everything you read online speaks truth.[/quote]

You go ahead and feel that.  :roll: [/quote]
At 45, a woman's likelihood of getting pregnant is no more than 3 or 4 percent. 
That's not to say it's impossible, but assisted reproductive technologies are almost always necessary, with IVF the most common.
"The few eggs you have left may have chromosomal abnormalities, so screening before IVF is critical.” 
Success rates are 0 to 1 percent, and most clinics recommend using eggs donated by a younger woman for those who want to conceive between ages 46 and 50.[/quote]

No one here is saying it’s a sure thing.  They’re saying that there is a chance, and if op absolutely doesn’t want to get pregnant, she needs to continue to use condoms, and plan B if those fail.

Dh and I stopped using birth control when we got married when I was 38.  I ended up having healthy kids at 41 and 44.   I also got pregnant at 46, but that ended in a miscarriage.  At that age, highest probable outcome was an m/c.  Second highest probability was a healthy pregnancy to term, third highest was to term with a chromosomal defect.

Pregnancies after 45 are unusual, but they do happen. [/quote]
