At 47, I thought it was menopause, actually I was pregnant
Actually, I was quite surprised to find out earlier this year that what I thought was menopause was actually a pregnancy. I am 47. Unfortunately, I miscarried. The good news from this pregnancy is that I became pregnant. The children I had in my 20's were all conceived with 200 mg of Clomid after months of trying. And now here I am older, but more fertile!
After doing quite a bit of research over the last few months, I learned that it is not abnormal at all to conceive in your 40's and go into menopause in your late 50's to 60's. But honestly, I too had bought into the hype that women entering their 50's are not fertile. As our society lives longer, why wouldn't we retain fertility to an older age. I feel young and my body acts like I am! Although I am a bit creaky in the morning!

You are so right that most women over 40 do conceive naturally. By far! ---Velveteen

About conceiving naturally over 40 -- you know as I have posted before, 3 of my children I conceived in my 40's.... When I had done anything other than natural - I did not conceive. --- Caren
