For women over 45, there is less than a 1 percent chance of getting pregnant using their own eggs. Successful pregnancy for women over 45 is nearly always the result of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and the use of an egg donor. Researchers at Tel Aviv University reviewed birth records from 2000 to 2008, specifically looking at the records of 177 women who gave birth at the age of 45 and beyond. The majority of the women had IVF and received donor eggs, and 80 percent of the babies were delivered via cesarean section (C-section). Despite their celebrity, Kelly Presley (age 47), Celine Dion (age 42), and Mariah Carey (age 40), are older pregnant women ...

Researchers say this test could help women make reproductive decisions about when to start a family. For instance, if a woman knows she’ll start menopause at 46, she might opt to start a family much earlier. And the predictions have generally been accurate within about three to four months. We’re not so sure about this development. While this info would definitely be handy for family planning, we don’t know if we’d want to know the age that menopause would hit us. We feel like it might make us dread the future entirely, and become hypersensitive to every little change in our bodies. What do you think? Would you want to know ...

We get to work around 9 a.m., which dictates the schedule of our days and nights, including when and how much we sleep. Yet, intuitively, it’s obvious: We don’t all march to the tick of the same clock. The timing of our alertness and our drowsiness, according to the National Sleep Foundation, not only has to do with how much sleep we got last night, but also with our “circadian biological clock”. Some research indicates that our internal clocks could be genetically pre-coded, at least in part. But there are also ways to control that clock and get your sleep in step with your schedule. The BBC’s “Sleep Profiler Quiz”, below, helps to determine whether you’re a lark or an owl, and how to get the most out...
