Hi Everyone...
Ive been trying to get pregnant since the middle of February,but as of yet,no joy!I went to the doctor to have internal exams done before we started trying and got the a-ok!I dont drink,have never smoked or taken drugs and keep very very fit.I have no histories of any illnesses.....everything is in my favour,except my age.Do you think i`m being very impatient?!!??!Can anybody help me out with some helpful advice,tips or anything i could try?!?!?!To improve my chances!!Thanks.x

Hi, I think it's great news you've been given a once over by the gp but it's important to remember that even an 'average' healthy woman only has a 25% chance of conceiving each cycle. So even if age wasn't a factor I'd anticipate at least 6 months of 'trying' before success.

There's loads of things you can do to maximize your chances of hitting the right time each month but as you've only just started I won't recommend any of those yet! Take it easy, it's very easy to go mental become agitated when it doesn't happen the first couple of 'goes'.

Good luck, I wish you every success xx

No advice as such but a family member started TTC at 37, struggled for about a year but... is now pregnant with 3rd (due end May) and turning 41 soon. So all is not lost.

Keep having fun trying
