If you are of “advanced maternal age” and your doctor is denying you the chance to get pregnant because he thinks you are “too old,” think of all the women who get pregnant naturally after age 50:

• Aracelia Garcia, 54, became naturally pregnant with triplets in 1994

• Frances Harris, 59, became pregnant naturally with twins in 2004

• Annie Leibovitz was 52 years old when she gave birth to her daughter Sarah in October 2001.

• Elizabeth Edwards gave birth to her Jack in 2000 at the age of 51.

• Ruth Kistler of Portland, Oregon gave birth to a daughter on October 18, 1956, at the age of 57 (this is before IVF was invented!)

• Kathleen Campbell from Kimberley, Nottinghamshire, gave birth to a son in 1987 at the age of 55, having conceived naturally

• Dawn Brooke from Guernsey gave birth to a son on August 20, 1997, at the age of 59.

As you can see, women can get pregnant at any age without the help of drugs or surgery. Personally, and in my own experience as a kinesiologist, I have never had a client 50 and over, but I have helped several women ages 44, 46, 47, 48, and 49 get pregnant.

You can control your fertility and health with natural remedies, and I recommend the following to anyone over the age of 35 who is having trouble conceiving:

1. Start taking an antioxidant formula: Antioxidants help repair free radical damage and can reverse cellular aging. This is particularly important for improving the quality of your eggs and keeping your reproductive organs young and healthy. I recommend Antioxi Plus

2. Increase your intake of superfood fruits and vegetables – These fruits and vegetables are extremely nutrient-dense, providing your body with additional vitamins, minerals, macronutrients, as well as the energy needed to reproduce. An easy way to do this is by mixing a formula like AlkaGreens Plus into your morning juice.

3. Do a Fertility Body Cleanse: Older women have been more exposed to pollution than younger women… simply because they’ve been alive longer. Gentle detoxification of the body and strengthening of the organs of elimination can double fertility, without the need for drugs or surgery.

4. Balance your hormones and triple your fertility with an herbal remedy like FertilPlus, which contains scientifically proven fertility-boosting ingredients and has had an excellent track record of helping women in countries around the world conceive. (There’s even a FertilPlus for men that increases sperm count and improves sperm motility and morphology.)

5. Reduce your stress levels, as the stress of trying to conceive has been scientifically proven to be just as damaging to your body as the stress of bereavement. Stress can throw your hormones out of balance, disrupting your menstrual cycle and ovulation, preventing you from getting pregnant.

In my experience, women over the age of 40 have more than one problem that prevents them from getting pregnant. For example, there are fibroids, endometriosis, PCOS, blocked fallopian tubes, PID, recurrent yeast infections, etc.

If this is the case for you, my advice would be to address these conditions while trying to conceive by combining a body cleanse with an organic herbal remedy designed specifically for the condition. This is because removing any of the obstacles to getting pregnant will help you conceive later in life.
