Almost 44 when Isabel arrived
I was still in my 20s (29 years old), when I duly brought forth my son Charlie, now 23 years old.
Two years and three months after my first baby - and by now in my early 30s - I gave birth to Alice, who will be 21 years old this month.
Soon after this, my marriage broke down, and I settled into almost a decade of raising my small family as a single parent.
And then, shortly before my 44th birthday, my second husband and I celebrated the arrival of Isabel, who has just turned nine years old.
I am, in spite of my mother's misgivings, the proud mother of three children, each born in a different decade of my life.

How
UnexplainedInfertility, Miscarriage and IVF Failure Can Be Explained and Treated with Immunotherapy
by Alan E. Beer, Julia Kantecki, Jane Reed
-- A unique book—the first of its kind. No longer do patients have to accept their infertility is
just bad luckand they just have to
keep on trying.
No longer should women with recurrent miscarriages have to listen to their doctor telling them that their loss was
God's willor that they ought to be thankful because their baby was probably chromosomal-ly abnormal.
The statistics simply do not support such claims — in fact, they show repeated reproductive failure can be a symptom of wider health problems in the mother.
Furthermore, the root cause can be treated — not only to promote the chances of a successful pregnancy but to improve the mother's health long-term.
