Hi guy's me and dh have made the decision to start ttc baby4 im just 36 and wondering how many cycles it took other 35+ mum's to conceieve? Also were you monitoring ovulation while trying etc we have decided to take the relaxed approach for now and not monitor.

I was 38 when I got Pg with DD3. Second month of trying. I tracked ovulation for the second month.

I got pregnant on the 2nd month at 36, tracking ovulation.

Looking at your previous conceptions will tell you more than other women’s experiences. The idea that fertility drops off a cliff at 35 is outdated, it doesn’t, there is a slower decline in egg quality and a rise in miscarriage likelihood (as there is every year you’re fertile not just at 35) if you had a baby at 33 or 34, your personal fertility at 35-36 won’t be hugely different.

I conceived baby number 2 at 36. Got pregnant on 3rd Cycle. Tracked ovulation from 2nd cycle, used SMEP on 3rd and successful cycle. Currently 10 weeks.

As PP said I think fertility is very individual, I conceived first DD at 32 and also took 3 cycles.

As you have 3 children already unless you have a very large gap between 3rd and this I think you will likely be ok x
