Trina McGee said she was able to conceive her fourth child when she was fifty because she was able to reverse menopause.
The Boy Meets World star, 54, credited natural remedies recommended by ‘shamans’ in Belize for how she was able to get pregnant again.
She claimed that a “low-stress environment” contributed to her being able to reverse the signs of menopause in the early stages and have a child many years after having her last one.
This comes shortly after the actress announced she was expecting her fourth child, her first with her husband of nearly two decades, Marcello Thedford.
She also shared how her fourth pregnancy, which she called “miraculous, beautiful and triumphant,” has been going well for her after giving birth to three children previously in an interview with Entertainment tonight published on Tuesday.

She welcomed two with her ex-husband, Courtland Davis, and the third from a previous relationship when she was filming Boy Meets World.
Thedford is also the father of a son named Elijah from a previous relationship.
However, McGee said they wanted to expand their family and have a baby together.
“I’ve been saying I wanted to have a baby with my current husband for 16 years,” she explained.
She recalled that they “tried” to conceive naturally, considering IVF before turning to natural remedies.
At that time, she explained that she had been through menopause for a year.
She explained that they sought help from “shamans” in Belize, where Thedford has a “cultural background,” and worked with the Garifuna people to reverse the early stages of menopause.
She stated that because she began taking the herbal medicines recommended to her in Belize and maintained her healthy lifestyle, she and Thedford were able to conceive their baby.

Additionally, McGee also said that living in a stress-free environment helped her reverse menopause symptoms and get pregnant.
“The first thing for me is to not engage in any stress and stay away from negativity as much as I can, and that means what I put on TV, what I watch on my phone, you know, there’s a lot of drama.” and violence and negativity as soon as you turn on the screen,” she said.
“I really wanted it pointed out to me when I turn on the screen, what I’m seeing,” he continued. “Because stress, for me, is the most important factor.”
In her interview with the outlet, she also feels hungry, nauseous and tired from her fourth pregnancy, but remains positive despite the side effects.
As for what he’s feeling this time, McGee said he was experiencing “just pure joy.”
“I don’t participate in any of the negativity anyone has to say about it,” he continued. ‘I’m so happy. I have been blessed and that is all.
“And the only thing I’m worried about (I only have one job now) is having this baby, and that’s what I do.”
This comes shortly after she announced on Monday that she was pregnant with her fourth child.
