In case some of you missed this recent news:
In Los Angeles, a 63 year old previously nulligravid woman apparently
tricked the ART program at USC into donor IVF fertilized by her 60 year-old
husband. The age limit was apparently 55 and she let them believe she was
50. She became pregnant on the second cycle. At about 12 weeks gestation
she revealed her true age to her obstetrician. Her pregnancy was
complicated by diet controlled diabetes and hypertension treated with
bedrest. She delivered by cesarean in November of 1996 at 38 weeks a 6#2oz
baby. She is now believed to be the oldest woman ever to have given birth.
Any comments.
