Are there any women out there who have fallen pregnant naturally despite being told they were infertile?

Question

I am doing a study on the relationship between stress and fertility and am keen to talk to women about their experiences.

Thankyou

Answer 1

My mother did - twice.

Both my brother and I are 'miracles', though I think the word loses some of its magic when its used twice!

This might not fall into the area of your study, but if you're studying relationships that have to do with fertility, you might want to look into families who were told they were infertile who adopted children, and then were able to have kids naturally. My older sister is adopted, before my brother and I came along 'miraculously' and it really affected the entire family.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Of course! Infertility is not known until becoming pregnant is impossible, which in this day, is probably never.
I have read research, though, which posits that fertility, much like other natural physical cycles is affected by stress.
