Jenny Brown, 72, Seeking IVF Treatment to Have A Baby

Posted on Jul. 13, 2009 by Lindsay Britney

Jenny Brown, 72, is seeking the in vitro fertility treatment to have a baby. Jenny Brown (photo), from London, is unmarried, in fact, she had never a long-term relationship with the men. As the hospitals in the UK did not offer the IVF treatment to the woman who is older than 50, Jenny tried her luck overseas. But so far, it wasn’t successful even after she spent £30,000 in the United States and Italy. Jenny Brown is going to apply to have treatment at clinics in Bulgaria, Romania, Spain and India. A lot of people critised Jenny, believing she is selfish and irresponsible to conceive a baby at such an old age. They said she could leave any child she had orphaned as an infant. What’s the reaction of Jenny Brown? “Any mother can die at any age. Look at Jade Goody.” She defended.

Meet Shani Moran-Simmonds, the 3-year-old British girl who was born after her embryo was frozen for 11 years.

Shani Moran-Simmonds was born to parents Debbie and Colin Moran-Simmonds who are from Great Barr near Birmingham, in 2005. Shani’s is an extremely precious gift to Mr. and Mrs Moran Simmonds because she is the only one that her mom could finally pregnant with during the in vitro fertilization treatments of nearly two decades.

Since 1989, Ms Debbie’s problematic fallopian tubes have almost ruined her dream to be a mom. After the surgeries, she suffered an ectopic pregnancy and she failed to get pregnant for numerous times through the IVF treatments.

Debbie was so distraught that she and her husband once stopped considering to have a baby. When a bill of a fertility clinic 4 years ago came to tell the storage of their 10-years-old embryos kept frozen since 1995 were to be expired, Ms. Debbie and Colin decided to have one final attempt at parenthood and the two best embryos were implanted to her womb. One of these two embryos later became Shani Moran-Simmonds.

After having Shani who is believed to be one of the oldest frozen babies, Debbie was implanted frozen embryos to her uterus three more times, but she failed to get pregnant again.
