Can a 65-year old get pregnant

With assisted reproduction techniques and hormonal support along with good obstetric care, pregnancy is possible in carefully selected, healthy women who have attained menopause. Note the emphasis on healthy. The oldest woman to get pregnant in this fashion was 82!
In fact the oldest woman I have looked after through a pregnancy was 65 years old! The next oldest was 61. And there has been no one else in their 50s in my career.
Pregnancy at that age is risky. There should be no doubt about that. All complications of a normal pregnancy including death of the mother are multiplied several fold in mothers aged 65. There is good medical evidence to support this statement even though the sample size analysed is small (reason being in reality very few women get pregnant at that age!).
But also maximum age of pregnancy can be 64 years old, 11 months, 30 days. You can't be anymore naturally pregnant at 65, but onlVF, infertility begins after menopause and old age.
This is an issue that should be dealt with by a team of OBGYNs and physicians who are experienced in dealing with high risk pregnancies.

If a 55-year-old woman does ovulate occasionally, the possibility of a viable embryo that survives the first trimester is low. Beyond the likelihood of miscarriage, the probability of the baby having Down Syndrome is high. ***The chance of Down Syndrome occurring when the woman is 59 at the time of the birth is one in 8.*** Those are not good odds. And they do not get better with each passing year. This website provides a maternal risk chart and further information about Trisomy related concerns: Are You at Risk of Having a Baby With Down Syndrome?
So, of course a normal baby is possible, but the risk to mother and infant are great.

Most women will struggle to conceive in their early 50s. Those who get pregnant in their 60s most often do so via IVF with \*donor eggs.\*
However, there are extreme statistical outliers. The world record for a natural pregnancy is 69 years old. So, pregnancy at 65, though extremely unlikely, is still remotely possible.

You have less energy for pregnancy, delivery and child rearing even when you have a baby in your late 40s as I did, I can't imagine having one at 65! You would be 85 when they go to college! If you are lucky you will live that long. You'll likely miss their wedding and any children they have. I think it's a selfish thing to do. Adopt an older child whose age is more in line with yours. Even then you will still likely be the oldest mom of their peers!
menopause happens for a reason. The female body is only intended to be fertile for so long!

Sure! The oldest patient I’ve delivered was 65. It was her first baby and I ended up needing to perform a vacuum assisted delivery. After delivery her husband said, “Don’t worry! You’ll do it on your own next time!” So he at least was planning on that not being their only delivery.
She became pregnant through in vitro fertilization using a donated egg. This is the most likely way to achieve pregnancy at the age of 62. Spontaneous pregnancies after the age of 52 are uncommon, and become less common with each passing year. The risks of chromosomal abnormalities also increase with increasing maternal age. That’s not to say it’s impossible. Two years ago I had two patients at the age of 57 with spontaneous pregnancies. Both assumed they were menopausal prior to learning they were pregnant. Both had healthy babies. The oldest recorded spontaneous pregnancy occurred at the age of 69.

You cant. Your ovaries have probably long since stopped releasing eggs and whatever are left would probably not be in good shape. MOST women go through menopause somewhere around 60 or 61. It seems to run about the same in familes so you might check with your mother or sisters to see when they became menopausal. It doesn't really matter if you are still having periods, they are most likely anovulatory. You can find out if you're truly menopausal and not ovulating anymore by having a blood draw called an FSH. This tells you if your body is trying to prompt itself to prepare eggs and if it's successful or not. The general rule for menopause is one year or longer without periods and an FSH over 40. If you meet these criteria you are DONE . The only option left for you to have your own child is to make an agreement with a surrogate and they would most likely need to use her eggs or donor eggs as yours will not be young and healthy. Sorry to be the grinch, but unless you are very unusual and have not experienced thsee things then it just ain't happenin! In the last couple of decades women have pushed out child bearing further and further as they pursue their careers etc. A large number of them are now finding they are having trouble conceiving or carrying a pregnancy. You have pushed yours beyond the scope of modern fertility abilities.
