I got pregnant one month after my 44th birthday. I am over 31 weeks now. She is due 2 months before my 45th birthday.
I know I was lucky. After having and losing my first child to adoption at the age of 15, I had 2 miscarriages in my 20's, followed by years of infertility, PCOS, pre-cancer scares (2 times)
The first of 2006, I went on a major exercise & diet plan and lost 35 pounds (171 down to 136) I used Vitex, and the last 2 months I used Ovulex. I also used primrose oil first half, and flaxseed second half of cycle, baby aspirin, progesterone cream and drank green tea. My cycle regulated and I got pregnant the first try
Now my husband and I (yep, same baby daddy) are expecting our second child. We only have the one grown son and two grandchildren, so this little one is a real blessing -- Vicki

It's a little early for me to be making assumptions, but for what it's worth, I got pregnant less than 2 weeks after my 44th birthday. Just went to take my second beta, so we'll see if it's viable.
I had my first at 39 and have only gotten pregnant twice since then -- one chemical and one miscarriage at 7 weeks.

I have read that women are more fertile in the spring - April and May - than any other time of the year. I don't remember where I read this, but I'm pretty sure it was some kind of medical report/statistic. It sure was true for me.
I started TTC when I was 41 and have gotten pregnant 4 out of 5 times during the spring - 3 times in April - 02,03,04, 1 during May 05, and 1 in August 02. I have a healthy active 27 month old daughter, who was born in Jan 05 when I was 44.

I know of someone who is the product of a 50 year old mom and 55 year old dad. She's 43 now, so that's way before IVF and donor eggs and all that jazz.
It is not impossible.
