Hi,

Have heard of plenty of moms giving birth to lots of children clear up into

their 60's in Mexico, but surrogate grandmas carring their daughters egg, that

is a different story. I wonder if these 60+ grandmothers giving birth to their

daughter's egg were still premenopausal.  I would assume there could be an

incubation problem if the pregnant grandmothers were post menopausal? Yet on the

other hand if a test tube baby were possible what would be the drawback of a

postmenopausal second-hand grandma?  Think of the benefits, post 60's surrogate

moms would not be nearly as concerned with stretch marks etc.  Still, I wonder

about biological mother bonding genetically better with her own fertilized egg

rather than a surrogate or a test tube of some sort?

Yeah I have read those stories too. In other places as well. Seems

nutrition plays a huge role in determining how long a woman can

maintain her fertility. What little study I have done on the topic

seems to suggest that not only can a woman continue to produce new

eggs but healthy new eggs if the right nutrition is provided right up

until her body says it it time to stop.

What do you mean by " bonding genetically better? "
