Bhateri Devi, at 66 -years of age, has become the oldest known mother of triplets after she gave birth to two boys and a girl on May 29, 2010 in Hissar in northern Indian state of Haryanan. The triplets were born to her after 44 years of her marriage with Deva Singh aged 64,who two year younger than Bhateri Devi.

“Newest oldest Mom Bhateri Devi of Satrod Village in Hisar District, Haryana conceived with Invitro Fertilization technique at National Fertility Centre, Hisar in Haryana. She conceived in third attempt, for the first two attempts, only two embryos were transferred in each cycle. But in third attempt three embryos were transferred in her uterus. All three implanted and to the surprise of all, old lady became proud mother of two sons and one daughter by Cesarean section.” Said says Dr. Anurag Bishnoi who was the treating IVF specialist.

Bhateri was born on May 21, 1944 in village Madtna of District Rohtak in the family of Sh.Laheri Singh Dangi (Grand father) and Sh. Hazari Lai Dangi (Father). Her birth record is confirmed by the birth certificate issued by district hospital Rohtak where her birth record is kept safe.

“As the proof of her age is well documented, she becomes the highest aged female of the world to give birth to triplets. Neither giving birth to three live babies has ever been done by a woman of this age nor did any other woman of this age have proper birth certificate. Age assessment by forensic experts is not accurate after the age of 45” says Dr.M.R.Bishnoi Director of National Fertility Centre.

Deva Singh has a story to tell – He married two times after marrying Bhateri as Bhateri was unable to produce children. Although Deva Singh’s past and present Investigations were all normal, his three marriages could not bring him heir. Only her first wife stayed with him. It is the eldest wife who came to his rescue and has given him proud moments of becoming a father. Old is gold says Deva Singh who is now taking care of his old faithful mate.

InVitro Fertilization Technique has been practiced by us in usual way but now the results are good says Dr.Bishnoi. We have more than 60percent clinical pregnancy rates per cycle and 90% cumulative pregnancy rates in three cycles. IVF was earlier disliked by most of the couples as around the globe pregnancy rates were disappointing (20%), but past and present success rates have built confidence on the people says Dr.Anurag Bishnoi, Rajo Devi 70years old female who delivered a baby girl 1 Vi year ago is the brand ambassador of IVF in Haryana. Women folk in Haryana now insist on the scientific treatment of Infertility rather than going to ‘Babas’. When their husbands resist, they quote these old females and say that when they can conceive why can’t we,

Deva Singh and Bhateri’s tale has again evoked controversy of why an old couple should have children. Deva Singh says he is a millionaire and can hire all facilities for his children during his life time and after him as he has good numbers of relatives to help his children. He knows that average life expectancy of mother is less than a young female but there was no way out. Bhateri know there was no way out. Bhateri told me that even if she dies, she will try to fulfilled his dreams.

Talking about the high risks involved in these elderly pregnancies, Dr.Bishnoi says that risks are always calculated. There are risks involved when we travel on road, there are risks involved in Air Travels and even in railways, but then why do we travel. We travel as we want to reach our destinations. Same are these cases. Risks are there but patients want to realize their dreams. Life is a battle. We may loose, but we must fight says enthusiastic Dr.Bishnoi.
