Ok, question here...How many of these children were natural, adopted, result of fertility treatments? I ask as a 43 year old ttc for the past 2 and a half years (IVF/IUI.)
Do tell, inquiring minds want to know! =) Thanks!

53 with a 3 year old, yes, adopted. Feeling my age (stiffness) and hoping to fit exercise into my schedule again soon. I used to have so much energy and never imagined I'd lose it. I hate to think of being a couch potato while my little one wants to play.

50 in December with an 18 month old (by then)!

My husband, that is. Thankfully, he looks 15 years younger.

Happened naturally, after we spent almost 50K trying to conceive. Healthy pregnancy, beautiful babies (a boy and a girl.)

We just wish we had that money back. All it took was a bottle of wine and a trip to Cabo.


I sort of don't believe this - you're telling me no fertility drugs or anything? There is like a one in a million chance of that happening at your age.

I love reading happy surprise stories like this. Amazing. My fertility doctor always told me this was pretty much a phenomenon. He said it could happen, but in all likelihood would not. Way to go and Congrats!!

Wow! Great story! You are indeed a rarity. You lucky lady. You really got pregnant naturally at 47? I am only in awe because I went through the entire fertility process several times. Wound up with my now beautiful six year old at the age of 44. I'm fifty now. Oh, I do wish she had been a twin. Yes, I agree, very expensive!!

I am 48 yr old with elementary school kids.

My first grader just told me I was getting elephant skin because of the wrinkles around my eyes. LOL. No more zoo field trips!
