[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even though the odds are against me, I hold on to the hope that my grandmother got pregnant naturally at 45. Yea, times have changed but I am still going forward. As long as Dr. F will do the procedure, I want to try.[/quote]

Not to be a downer, but most women who conceive on their own at 45 and up, had multiple children beforehand.  Their fertility is preserved because they spent so much time pregnant.  My great aunt got pregnant on her own at 48--with her 9th child. [/quote]

My mother naturally got pregnant with my youngest sister at 46.  She was her 10th child, 14th pregnancy.

Several of her sisters had babies naturally well into their 40s--the oldest was 48.

It is true that women who are open to children can keep their fertility longer.  I was recently a doula for a natural pregnancy at 46, and another at 47--both the youngest of large families.[/quote]

Were those natural pregnancies at 46 & 47 their first pregnancies? Likely not.[/quote]

In her post it says they were the youngest of large families so not their first pregnancies. [/quote]
