Conceived easily before my 45th birthday
My doctor told me she doubted I could get pregnant.
She said women past the age of 42 or 43 years old just did not get pregnant without medical intervention or donor eggs.
I conceived easily just before my 45th birthday and so far I am having a normal, uneventful pregnancy.

I'm 46 years old.
I conceived in October 2005, but sadly I miscarried my baby on December 19, 2005, at nine weeks pregnant.

Only God knows, and I pray one day, it is going to happen.
