they say that the chances of getting pregnant after 40 is 5% each month and that 35% of these pregnancies end in miscarriage and by age 45 the miscarriage rate is 53%, and 1 in 378 live pregnancies will be affected by Downs Syndrome. IVF also has a success rate of 1% after age 44 so that really is no help,just money down the reproductive medicine drain
