Any positive stories of conceiving naturally at 36 ?

[Whoeveriam]

Just wondering if there are positive stories of you conceiving naturally at 36 ? Everyone is saying that I don’t really have a chance . Thank you

my sister had her first at 36, 10 months after her wedding day. Then her second at 38. Both perfect pregnancies resulting in healthy babies

My mother conceived me unintentionally when she was 36, having already had as many children as she wanted.

You're 36 not 56, as long as everything is "normal" you've got a good chance of falling pregnant.

I conceived first child naturally at 39. I tracked ovulation and took no time.

Everyone being who? They are talking out their arse. You ovaries have not entirely shrivelled up yet! Don't listen to these ignorant people.

Conceived naturally at 38, 39, 42 and 45. All healthy children. I'm very lucky

Got pregnant first time not using protection at 43.

My Mum has her first baby at age 38.
She had 3 more children in the following 5 years.

Had my two at 35 and 37, not far off 38. Both very easy and low risk pregnancies. Took about 8 months the first time to conceive, sadly a miscarriage in between (conceived first month of trying) and then was pregnant again 4 months later.

I was 35, 38 and 40 when I fell pregnant naturally. I tracked my ovulation OP. Good luck.

I missed one pill and fell pregant at age 43... perfectly straightforward pregnancy and now i have a beautiful little boy.

36 really isnt that old!

Thank your your messages and wonderful stories of positivity . We both have children from previous relationships , have been together a long time .
We have been TTC for a year now and I was fairly relaxed about it but whilst with my friends yesterday they were saying that I am past it and should forget it . Just really upset me .

Had my first at 37 - got pregnant a month after coming off pill - was told it could take awhile so a nice surprise. Had 2nd at 42. Issues in between with various miscarriages but was due to undiagnosed thyroid disease.
Had both naturally and they are now 5 & 9 😊

32, 36, 39 and now 42. I didn’t think it would happen this last time as took much longer…but it did! After a year you could try ovulation testing or swing the doctor but I think it’s a common age to give birth now.

DS1 was an IVF baby after being told it was IVF or nothing. 9 years later (at 36) I found myself pregnant with my now 17m old DS2.

They aren’t very good friends OP. Let me guess, they all had their babies in their teens or very early twenties, and just want to rag on you to feel better about their choices?

Conceived naturally at 38 on the second month of trying. Easy pregnancy, healthy baby.

I got pregnant naturally just before I was 37,we weren't trying was a contraception failure & MAP was too late (which I'm grateful for now) have a gorgeous 2 year old son who's just gone asleep after a day of mischief 😂

Started trying at 36, took 11 months and I conceived at 37. Turns out I had an underactive thyroid, which was making TTC difficult. It probably would have happened sooner without that issue.

I had DS at 36, a miscarriage at 37 and DD at 3 months shy of 39. All without much trying, once I'd worked out when I was likely to be ovulating (purely based on counting days since last cycle - no temperature measuring or peering at mucus).

I fell pregnant with my 4th child while on the pill at 36! When it comes to childbearing 36 is not old at all these days.

38 here. 36 is very normal these days, who are you talking to?

Conceived after first month of the pill with DS when I was 35. Conceived after 2 months off the pill at 38 with twins

Had my first at 41. No problems conceiving, easy pregnancy. But haven’t got pregnant again after that, despite not using contraception, which is probably age related (I’m 44 now). At that age I’d say yes, it’s probably pretty difficult to conceive naturally (albeit not unheard of) but 36 … You’re a spring chicken 😊

That's ridiculous. Women become pregnant at 36 - and older - all the time.
