47 pg with twins - own eggs? Huh - Page 2

I did IVF when I was 46/47 with my own eggs. I lost twins in my last cycle, I was 47.4 yrs of age.

My grandmother was 46 when she had my dad in 1927, her 10th child. I am so glad she did!!

It's unusual for a 47 year old but entirely possible. 57, definitely donor eggs or embryos!!!

My aunt had twins(lost one) at 49!! Her other children were all in college. So I could say, yes it is very possible. They do say as you approach menopause that you many times ovulate more than one egg.... congrats to her!!

I think "Anything" is possible. I am 43 and have 16 month old twins from de's. When they were 7 months old, Poof, I got preg with twins with just SEX...I was freaked. I m/c at 12 weeks but "anything" is possible...not likely but certainly possible!
