Any success stories after trying for several months or is it totally unheard of? Currently month number 15 of TTC and losing hope.

Is this your first? I know friends who’ve had success a few years older that 41 also. I’m close to that age and thinking about a third. If I do, I’ll read It Starts With The Egg again and follow the vitamin protocol in there - such as ubiquinol etc.

Second idea of reading the above book. I got pregnant at 41 three months after a miscarriage at the same age. Gave birth at 42.

I concentrated on eating as well as I could and keeping my fingers but not my legs crossed. Lots of sex, which I can appreciate isn’t quite so easy when it’s been a few months. Good luck. 🙏🏻

Following. Im 40 and just had another miscarriage. Been doing ivf for 12 months. I had a baby at 38 so surely my chances have lowered that much ..

I had my last at 42 but she was number 6.
It took 3 months after a MMC.
I gave up coffee, kept really healthy and (don't laugh) did the legs up the wall after sex.
I have NO idea if that worked but I have told a few friends and it worked for them too.
Either way, it gives you a giggle.
Good luck!

My mum gave birth to me at age 44.

No problems for us twins were our last at 44 now 2yrs single at 43 single at 40 and several in the years before that we have 10 children. My sister has just had twins she's 45 and her single 2 at 43 and 40 again no problems either. I think it totally depends on the woman. Two of our friends have had single births this year and there both 45. Good luck your turn will come :)

Thanks for your comments. Sounds like a few positive stories which is something. X

I’m 40 and been trying over 2 years
all tests have been fine- unexplained apart from GP said my age is probably delaying things a bit

Oh just realised I’ve replied on your other thread too!

I had my DD at 42. First (and only!) child. Got pregnant at 41, a few months after a (grim) miscarriage. Pregnancy a breeze and happy. Birth induced, epidural x 2, 14 hours, average for a first baby. Not the drama I was expecting 😊 22 years later, I still feel blessed 😇 and DD remains an absolute joy 😍

I conceived my 6 month old little girl a month after my miscarriage at the age of 42☺️
