Scientists have said that women might now be able to conceive at an age past child-bearing, all thanks to a new treatment that is expected to come up in the next ten years. Scientists have discovered a protein that they believe can be developed into a pill or even an injection to extend the life of the eggs in the ovary.
This could lead to a fertility revolution, as women would be able to wait longer to have a child.

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.
