A member asked:

What does it mean placenta is old therefore you cannot get pregnant ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The placenta: is part of each and every pregnancy, new each time. The placenta does not remain after delivery. So an old placenta, is not possible, or related to ability to achieve a new pregnancy.
