Shortly after their 22nd wedding anniversary, she found out she was pregnant for the first time.
She was 45 years old.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I do have one friend who claims to have had IVF [in vitro fertilization] success with her own eggs at 48 years old!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I personally know one close friend, as well as one acquaintance who both got pregnant with IVF at 43 years old, and delivered a beautiful baby girl each at 44 years old.
I know my friend got pregnant on her first try.
Her baby is now about 5 months old, and she is gearing up to try again at 44 years old.
The other acquaintance also got pregnant at 43 years old with IVF.
I don't know as much about her story, but, from what I understand, she also got pregnant on the first try with IVF.

A girlfriend of mine had had two horrible miscarriages (one was at 5 months, and she nearly bled to death).
Then, after seeing an acupuncturist and taking herbs, she got pregnant and gave birth at 43 years old!
She has a beautiful healthy daughter, and it was all natural!
