[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some women get pregnant naturally and easily at 43.  
Other women are completely infertile at that age. 
Most are in between.

There are about 400K IVF cycles each year in the US and about 10% or 40K are donor egg. 
Most people tell no-one about donor egg--not their mother, sister, best friend, etc.

I'm an IVF nurse. 
For all the people saying "so and so conceived this way, at that time": 
Unless you were in the room when it happened you really have no idea regardless of what the couple is (or isn't) saying. 
Couples lie all.the.time for their own protection.

No, not this. Sure IVF is common and a lot of middle class folks can afford it with insurance coverage. Not so donor eggs - most folks aren't going to go down that road because of cost.

I don't know why there is a contingent of women on DCUM who can't fathom that some women are fertile. My friend had 2 boys easily in her late 30s. At 42 they wanted to go for a third and yes they were hoping for a girl. After a few months of trying they did do IVF and she had her girl at 44.

No donor eggs, couldn't afford them and couldn't justify it for a 3rd baby, but because of her history of fertility she was a good candidate for IVF in her 40s. It doesn't work for everyone but if you are fertile it can work.
