Stress over age worse for fertility than age itself?

I have secondary infertility. I'm starting to worry about my age (35 in Feb)
BUT now I'm worrying that worrying and stress over the issue will cause more harm than my actual age itself ?

Is 35 really that bad? If I stay healthy, eat well and minimise stress surely that makes more difference than my age or is it true that I'm staring over a cliff edge in terms of my fertility ?
AIBU to think that if stop stressing about age then it'll help ? Stress is harmful to the body isn't it-more so than age ?

As a 29 year old IVF-FET currently impregnated barren, I have come to agree with the sentiment that whilst stress doesn't make you infertile, being infertile makes you stressed. Good luck OP.
