DO YOU NEED IVF IF YOU'RE OVER 40?

IVF Over 40, Can You Get Pregnant Naturally?

Did you know that the rate of surprise pregnancies in women over the age of 40 is second only to teenagers?  Did you know that quite a few women and couples who undergo fertility treatments (including IVF) conceive naturally afterwards (either after having a child through IVF or after fertility treatments failed)?
