I know of one woman who conceived spontaneously at age 51 after 18 years of infertility (including various early and primitive ART treatments, one of which supposedly left her even more incapable of conception than she was before they started). The pregnancy was discovered during a work-up for a hysterectomy. The hysterectomy had been scheduled because of severe pelvic adhesions secondary to years of endometriosis, which was causing bowel problems and chronic pelvic pain. The termination was performed immediately prior to the hyst. Just because something rarely happens doesn't mean it never happens. And the rate of chromosomal anomaly in these pregnancies very late in a woman's reproductive years must be astronomical.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
