New here, TTC first baby aged 41. Are we DTD enough??

[Bumblebee41]

Hi everyone, I'm new here

My DH (I'm assuming that's darling husband, right?) and I have been TTC for the past 2 years. I'm 41 and he's 35. It will be our first child. We are currently on the waiting list for assisted fertility, but I am still hoping to conceive naturally before then.

I have had blood tests confirming that I am still ovulating and I have regular periods and DH has had a sperm count which is all normal. Assuming we are both fertile, why aren't we conceiving? We make sure to DTD at least 4 times in the 4 day window ( I have very regular periods and also use ovulation sticks so am sure we are capturing the most fertile time).

Is 4 times in the window enough?

Thank you for any help

I had a bit of trouble conceiving at age 43 - for a really silly reason, I think ... I had two chemical pregnancies - and the physician asked me about prenatal vitamins. I said I was taking a multi vitamin. She said I needed to be taking 4000 mcg or 4 milligrams Folic Acid, daily (also prevents Spina Bifida). So, I did, and a month later I was prego, and my son is now 10 years old.

I hope it is as simple as that for you. You might want to ask me later what it is like to be a 54 yo mum of 10 yo. It's fantastic!
