Of course.

10. I bet she'll be among the older moms in carpool line at mothers' morning out.

9. Takes Geritol brand prenatal vitamins (couldn't resist).

8. Only mom wearing girdle/nursing bra combination.

7. She'll be one of the only women at the nursing home who has to help with homework in elementary school.

I had better stop now.

Is it just me, or is the age limit of 55 a bit high? Is this because it is California? At what age do most ART programs limit their participants? Does the American Society for Reproductive Health (the old AFS) have clear guidelines?

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.
