She’s almost 40. Not quite time for menopause.

This is not their last hope. Many women close to 40 have issues with tubal pregnancies resulting in the loss of a tube. But with IVF, tubes aren't needed. Viable embryos are placed in the uterus (which has been prepared for implantation by a robust round of progesterone). Success rates for women close to 40 are not as good as younger women, but thousands have become pregnant. The draw back? It is expensive and most health insurances will not cover it.

But there is always hope, and if this is something your mom and her husband really want, then there are options such as IVF to look into.

BTW...if your mom is only 40, how old are YOU?? You must be a young pup yourself.

My niece just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. She is 41.....they have two other children, a son 12 and daughter 8...what a prize he is...
Praying that your mom will be able to carry a baby... God knows best.
