Answer 1

Women are born with all of the eggs they will ever have, unlike men who keep producing sperm their whole lives. Once you hit menopause you've used up your eggs, and any eggs that might be left will be too old to be viable.

If you are serious about more children, look into foster parenting, domestic or foreign adoption--and skin color should not play into your decision. Kids who need a home come in all colors and will love their adoptive parents no matter what!

Answer 2

Yes, there are drugs and hormone therapies that could help a woman ovualte after menopause, but unfortunately these drugs will not improve egg quality. Menopause is basically started when the brain gets the signal from the ovaries that the reserve of eggs is getting low. The eggs left after menopause are fragile and usually unable to be fertilized. So even if your body could be "tricked" into ovulating again, it would not be producing usable eggs.

You could use hormones to create a hospitable environment in your uterus, then use donor eggs and your husband's sperm to create embryos. If you respond well, the embryos could be placed in you, and you could carry the baby.

But as far as having a child with your own eggs, I believe it would be impossible. I am sorry about your loss and I hope you find a way to bring another child into your life.

Answer 3

I do heard the story a Romanian woman at age 64 something has a genetic daughter.

After menopause, ovaries are virtually empty. But there are still hundreds of eggs left. This also depends on individual, could be more. Our hormones change and could not stimulate these eggs to grow. Your doctor can use some hormone to stimulate the growth of these eggs again. But I do urge you try to find the best doctor/clinic you can. And good luck.

I've read about women who have undergone hormone therapy to where they conceived, in fact they did a story on it on 60 Minutes years ago. There have been many success stories.
You will need to talk to a fertility doctor for certain and no doubt he will tell you your chances depending on your health.
My question for you is at 53, do you really want to have a child? You will be in your 70's when he/she leaves home. Will you be able to keep up with them, play ball and so on? I was taking care of a former boyfriend's 5 year old a few years ago. I'm in great shape and I still was exhausted after spending afternoons with him and I haven't reached 50 yet. So please think that part over.
Have you looked at foster care or other options? There are many children available, I'm sure you could find one.

Answer 5

no, when all women born we have 1400 eggs so when those eggs finish is done over no more ovulation no more period, no more baby
