I'll be TTC in August when I'll have, reluctantly, stopped BF DS3 (who took 11 months to conceive)
I'll be 39 in July and I'm concerned about dwindling fertlity. Do you have any "My neighbour was 103 and conceived triplets on the no.22 bus" type stories to inspire me?

No, but did it once (I swear) at an only very slightly dodgy time of the month. Rioja involved as far as I can remember. Isabella born 2 weeks before 40th birthday. Good luck! Myn theory? Relax!!

Zimmer could be useful for a supported squating birth position

Do you need to stop bfeeding to ttc? (I mean you personally, I know 'one' doesn't!) I haven't stopped (well, I have, but DS hasn't Mind you, I got AF back when DS was six months old - painful OB that she is! My DS also took 11 months to conceive - hope the next one doesn't take as long (have severe endometriosis and PCOS and was told I'd never have children )!

Sorry for total thread hijack

Thinking of you xxx - hope it works out

There are lots of geriatric conceivers here, bubble - you have come to the right place.

I was 41 when DS2 (4th child) was conceived and there are lots here who were older than that. Just wait!
