pregnant at 51?

[LadyLovelly]

My aunt (my mom basically) has never had a child and is 51. She doesn't smoke or drink and is a very young looking Puerto rican. Her husband is 50 and he smokes and is a recovering alcoholic. They've been trying on and off for 10 years with no luck. Now that I'm pregnant with my 2nd, she's getting the baby blues and is trying to get pregnant again...my question is, is it possible?  Has anyone on here successfully carried a baby to term at that age? She is nowhere close to menopause and she has a history  of fibroid tumors and endometriosis. Please help. thank you.

I wish her the best.

I'm 44.  I did 2 IVF (1 with meds/2nd natural) with donor egg and sperm with "great embryos" --no babies.
I am moving on from that heartbreak and am now adopting.  I can't afford to keep throwing money without a baby.  With adoption, there is greater hope (for me) of having a child at the end of the process.
Spent all of 2014 trying to have a baby (poked/prodded/medicated/2 transfers,, hysteroscopic myomectomy--fibroid remove in womb, etc.).  The meds caused my weight to go up and down.
I had my last lupron shot in Sept/October.  My hot flashes hit full force in November 2014.  In January, I could not take it any more.  I bought soy milk, flax seed and chia seeds.  I eat the chia and flax seeds with my nuts/oatmeal.  I drink soy milk 2 or 3 days a week. (too much soy is not good for you I'm hearing), no more than a glass or mix with regular milk.  My night sweats (they were getting pretty bad) and hot flashes have greatly diminished.  My sleep has improved.  
I did not have hot flashes before the IVF treatments.

My aunt gave birth at 50 or 51 so it is possible.

I had a similar situation.  It required surgery to remove extensive fibroids. I had the DaVinci surgery. Then I used IVF. It was successful the first time. Now I am 5 months pregnant.  And I'm 48. But there are many factors to consider such as the health of her husband's sperm, whether she will use her own eggs. There is also the gift of adoption. I am also a Mom through adoption and have really loved that experience, too. Both are equally beautiful. Best wishes.

It is possible, especially with the help of a fertility clinic. Two important things to note. Fibroids can prevent pregnancy, depending on their size and position. And some fertility clinics have cutoff ages. So she should not delay.

I had a similar situation.
