The study, published in medical journal Fertility and Sterility, compared the experience of parenting stress and physical functioning of a group of 49 fiftysomething women who conceived through egg donation with that of a group of 49 fortysomething women who conceived through assisted reproduction, as well as a group of 49 thirtysomething women who also conceived through assisted reproduction. The groups did not have statistically significant differences in their levels of stress or functioning.  &amp;quot;I would certainly not consider this to be any kind of definitive study. The numbers are not large,&amp;quot; study co-author Dr. Richard J. Paulson pointed out to Reuters Health. But, he said, it does seem to support the idea that &amp;quot;women in their 50s should not be excluded from fertility care on the basis of age alone.&amp;quot; Sometimes it seems like raising kids comes with more pressures and challenges than ever before, no matter what age you are.
