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. There are no documented cases for women over 45. 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.

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 everything you read online.

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

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. Impossible.

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.

She said 45 years old, carried a baby to term and delivered a healthy child.

Why is it only on the Internet that I hear about someone's Grandmother or Aunt Sally or relatives from the Dust Bowl who gave birth to a baby at 48 and now that kid is doing great things for the world?? Are you guys really buying all of that?

Also, that link is to a blog. And people can post anything they want and be anyone they want on a blog.

I am talking actual objective medical facts here. Backed up by theoretical medical evidence.

Not some anonymous people in cyberspace.

Anyway, in the heat of passion, I didn't use any type of birth control and neither did he.

My last menstrual period was Sept. 13th, I had sexual relations 21st-23rd and my cycles can vary from every 25 to every 27 days.

Online research says at my age my chances are 1%...Even less than.

Yet, my co-workers are telling me until I hit menopause I am fair game and can get pregnant any time I have unprotected sex.

Who's right here?

Hahahahahahaha! Your research skills suck. I know two people who are 50/60 who are the children of mothers who had them at age 46 and 48. Others have obviously chimed in as well.
