Lucky set of genes allows some women to get pregnant naturally after 45

A lucky set of genes may allow a small percentage of women to get pregnant naturally after the age 45, scientists said today. The researchers believe the genes might help slow ageing of the ovaries. For their initial research they studied a group of 250 women aged 45 and older who conceived naturally.

One famous example is Cherie Blair, who gave birth to baby Leo at the age of 45 in May 2000. Two years later she became pregnant again, but this time had a miscarriage.
