If you had a second (third etc) baby at 40, did you do anything different to conceive?

[Tiletiletile1]

Been TTC (unexplained secondary infertility) for almost 2 years now and have just turned 40.

I just bought “it starts with the egg” and I am doing most (but definitely not all with the plastic stuff!) things anyway. So thinking it might just be (bad) luck.

Wondered if anyone conceived at 40 plus but did anything different that made it happen? A diet, supplement, etc etc.

I’ve been round and round with my GP and feel like I’m nowhere. She doesn’t think I need Clomid. I am considering paying privately to get scans etc but I don’t know if I can justify all that money. Not knowing is driving me a bit barmy and everyone is pregnant around me!

Realise this is an old thread….. but just in case @Tiletiletile1 - I would definitely invest in some private fertility tests.

We have just fallen pregnant at 39 after 3.5 years of trying. Previously has babies at 30 and 33. I kept getting fobbed off by the GP and day 21 tests came back normal but on further investigation I actually had endo and cysts. I went on to have an operation and 6 months later fell pregnant.

Definitely worth investigating I would say.
