In recent years Postmenopausal Pregnancy has been emerging continuously. It is no longer an issue for women to conceive even after middle age because of advancement in assisted reproductive technology.

Moreover pregnancy in older age carries more risks including miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, delivery complications and stillbirth etc. This article will review possibilities of postmenopausal pregnancy and its associated risks and issues.
