Is there a chance of a relationship and kids if I'm 40?

Hi, having seen a thread from a 27 year old woman today, it's made me think, not for the first time, if a 27 year old woman is fretting, then it's really too late for me isn't it? I'll be 40 this year.
Can I still meet someone and have my own biological children?
Any positive stories out there?
Please no stories about adoption, egg donor or sperm donor. Just natural conception in a relationship after the age of 40.
Thank you.

I met my husband thru a dating agency (not online) at 39, married at 40, first baby 41, second at 43 both conceived naturally. My sister had her baby at 45, and a friend had hers at 46, both conceived naturally. But you need to get out there. If online not working go to a dating agency that interviews the candidates before accepting them.

Close friend was single for years. At 41 she decided she wanted a partner and kids and couldn’t sit around waiting for it to just happen any more, so she started online dating with eHarmony. Married at 42, twins at 43. Blissfully happy a year on. Her dh is really lovely - it sounds on paper like she grabbed the first halfway decent bloke who came along, but no; they are perfect for each other.

I met my DP when I was 40 and had first (and only) DD at 42, without any technical wizardry.
