Hi! One for mums who have conceived over 40,

I’m looking for advice.

(I’m posting here for traffic. If not allowed, I’m
happy for the post to be moved to a more suitable thread.)

I turned 42 this summer. My first and only was born when I was 38. I just haven’t felt ready to go again until now.

I got pregnant the first time we tried last time - conceived without any assistance. It was an easy pregnancy. I don’t expect I’ll get pregnant as quickly, but we’ll see.

My plan is just to try unassisted as last time, but I’m second guessing myself.

My question is: what advice would you give to conceive?
Should I seek assistance immediately?

  • I’ve no eggs frozen
  • My AMH is at good levels - above average (though I know it’s not a fertility indicator)
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi OP, we've moved this somewhere we believe is a better fit and you'll still get traffic.

Hope this helps
