Dr. Mickey Coffler was recently quoted in an article written by Charles Trepany for USA Today titled “This ‘Boy Meets World’ star credits shaman elixir for her pregnancy at 54. Doctors have some questions.”

For many people, getting pregnant can prove difficult. For those past the age of 40, it can be extremely difficult. So, when former “Boy Meets World” star Trina McGee says she became pregnant at 54 without IVF, after getting her tubes tied and a year into menopause, thanks to an “elixir” recommended to her by “shamans” in Belize, it may give people at that age false hope that a natural pregnancy is still possible. USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for McGee about her pregnancy.

Fertility doctors insist it’s not – and they implore those inspired by McGee’s story not to be fooled. If you want to conceive a child without IVF, you have limited time to do so. Dr. Mickey Coffler, a reproductive endocrinologist with HRC Fertility, suspects she didn’t actually reach menopause when she thought she did, she underwent fertility treatment she thought was “natural” but really wasn’t or she’s an extreme medical anomaly.
