I’ve never believed the statistics that pregnancy is pretty much impossible after 40. The fertility clinics just want to make money. I’ve known so many women who were surprised to become pregnant in their 40’s, including their late 40’s, even though they were not planning to. Some had grown children when they became pregnant again. Many of my friends and family members (including one of my parents) were born to mothers in their mid-40’s many years ago, long before IVF was invented.
My grandmother had five children. She had her first at the at the age of 23 and gave birth to her last,in 1954, at the age of 47.
No IVF involved.
