Has anyone seen this? A German woman gave birth to her 10th child apparently without fertility treatment. Do you believe this? Surely its not possible?!

Whatever the reality, this is dreadful and not to be lauded.

Maybe sometimes there is a freak of nature and unusual things happen.
I'm just glad its not me it happened to.

I would be amazed if that's possible without ivf.

Yeah that's what I thought but apparently it was natural and she had most of her 10 kids after the age of 50! I thought its even hard for ivf to be successful at that age?

It seems unlikely. But it may be there is something unusual about this woman. Perhaps having children in her 50s prolonged her fertile period? If fertility treatment was used - it will come out.
