One of her nurses told me that they have currently got a 52 year old patient that is 12 weeks pregnant. I said 'oh must be DE [donor egg]', but they assured me that no, it was not and it was her own eggs! Amazing!

I have a family member who is a medical doctor for Indian Health Service. She serves indigent Native American women. I can tell you that these women are not spending 30K to do donor egg, nor are they traveling to Spain and the Ukraine for bargain basement DE [donor egg] cycles (something they still wouldn't be able to afford!)
She said it is not uncommon at all to have women between 44 and 52 delivering a baby. Of course, they are not the majority; the majority of women who deliver babies are in their twenties. Certainly fertility declines with age, and no one is arguing that.
