50 year old conceives twins naturally

I was reading an interesting book, Fertility Wisdom: How Traditional Chinese Medicine Can Help Overcome In-fertility

In the book, she references a 50 year old who conceives twins naturally.

Angela C. Wu wrote: we see up to 200 new clients a year. Last year, our clinic helped 79 women become pregnant — 39 with support from Western reproductive technologies, and 40 naturally.

Twenty-nine of our female fertility clients were over the age of 40, and 14 of these women conceived naturally.

Most wondered if they would ever conceive at all.

TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:

Fertility Wisdom: How Traditional Chinese Medicine Can Help Overcome In-fertility, by Angela C. Wu, Katherine Anttila, Betsy Brown. Publisher: Rodale Books; 1 edition (September 5, 2006)

Fertility Wisdom: How Traditional Chinese Medicine Can Help Overcome In-fertility
-- At Wu's Healing Center in San Francisco, miracles are happening.

Women and their partners come to the clinic--often from across the country-- to fulfill a passionately held yet fragile dream: to conceive and deliver the healthy baby that mainstream doctors have told them they cannot have.

Using traditional Chinese medical techniques, sometimes integrated with Western fertility treatments, Dr. Angela Wu is helping these couples experience the miracle of birth.

At a time when one in five U.S. couples is struggling with fertility problems, this practical and uplifting volume, filled with the inspirational stories of Dr. Wu's grateful patients, will be a godsend.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
