Anyone TTC at 40 or late 30s?

Just wondering how long it took anyone to conceive at 40, or if anyone is TTC how long for? I’m on cycle 14 and wondering whether to quit or keep trying…. I’ve had 2 chemicals in that time

Is it your first baby? Are you taking good prenatal vitamins, and anything like NAC or ubiquinol for egg quality?

I had a surprise pregnancy at 39. Other friends had a fairly easy time late thirties/early forties also, but often their second or third babies so they knew there weren’t necessarily any underlying issues

Thanks for your reply. I am taking Pregnacare pre conceive and CoQ10 high dose. This will be my second, I have a 2 year old and it did take about a year with her too, but I don’t have any answers as to why. Just wondered if now age is at play too? But maybe not 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hopefully it’s not if you had a baby pretty recently. It probably wouldn’t hurt to get your iron, thyroid, basic hormones tested if you haven’t already. I don’t know if you breastfed, but I know that affected things for me and some friends, despite having regular periods. I’m really sorry, I know how disheartening negative tests are month after month
