50-Year-Old Woman Welcomes Her First Child with 61-Year-Old Husband
A North Carolina couple finally had a child after years of trying. Susie and Tony Troxler 50 and 61 years became parents to a baby girl. The new mother described the experience as surreal.
“I don’t even have the words, it’s surreal,” Susie told TODAY Parents. “I still can’t believe it. I spent so much time being me, first, and then being a wife. So now, this idea of being a mom is… it’s still a ‘wow’ for me.”
The couple’s blessing did come with its share of obstacles. “We didn’t even realize there was a fertility issue when we got married because we were just doing the couple thing,” Susie explained. “I was working, he was working, and we were just busy.”
After eight years passed without positive pregnancy result, the Troxlers sought help from the Carolinas Fertility Institute in Greensboro, after being referred by Susie’s physician who suggested she might be suffering from fibroids.
Susie Troxler’s doctor was correct but the woman had also been diagnosed with endometriosis — a painful gynecological condition in which endometrial-type tissue grows outside the uterus. Tony Troxler’s health also played a contributing factor to the couple’s inability to conceive children.
With all their options and risk, including gestational diabetes, premature birth and fetal chromosomal abnormalities, laid out in front of them, the couple decided to still have kids.
“He was very clear that this was going to be an uphill battle from the beginning,” she explained. “I had fibroid surgery January of 2019, went through the healing process, and then they collected egg after egg. I went through several rounds of egg retrieval and the insemination of eggs and none of it took. Nothing, nothing, nothing.”
