Sorry op. I had 2 before I was 36 and failed completely on no3, been trying since 39, no joy. 3mc along the way.

We've let it go now tho we still aren't using protection. Never know, we might get one good egg!

One cycles (6 weeks) at 39. Two cycles (9 weeks) at 41.
With our first attempt at 35 it took 18 months! (Mmc though), then second at 37 it took 4 months (dd1).

...I'm a little nervous that my fertility seems to be increasing with age! Shock

I am 40, 41 in July. Been TTC number 3 (with new DH) since November 2015 when I was 39, so coming up to 18 months. Not so much of a sniff of a BFP. Conceived DS1 at 31 and DS2 at 33 pretty much immediately. We've done 5 IUIs, 2 with clomid, still nothing. We are planning to do IVF in the next few months, IF I can get my head around it. Good luck.

DD took one shot at 37 (DP was gutted, he'd been envisaging lots of shagging). Trying to persuade him we can't wait much longer for a second, as I am 39, but he seems to think we can wait until I am 42 with no problems Hmm

I was 38 and got pregnant with dc4 after having sex 3 times.

Four years with DD (33 started, 37 conceived) had lots of tests but no real reason, then five months with DS (41), as with PP also more fertile as I got older!

got pregnant twice in that age range despite using contraception! Doctor said there is often (not always, and not to be relied on) a peak in fertility at this age as your body can release multiple eggs per month to 'use them up' before menopause

Conceived 3rd DC at 37 (38 when she was born) on second cycle - first cycle for first 2, at 32 and 34. I'd say that given you have already conceived twice, your chances are high - best of luck!

1 month at 38 for DD1
6 month at 40 and 41 (both MMC's)
8 months at 42 for DD2

We got there in the end and feel very lucky indeed. Good luck!
