I'll be TTC in August when I'll have, reluctantly, stopped BF DS3 (who took 11 months to conceive)
I'll be 39 in July and I'm concerned about dwindling fertlity. Do you have any "My neighbour was 103 and conceived triplets on the no.22 bus" type stories to inspire me?

I met a friend on the street who'd just got a BFP. Not sure of her exact age but she is definitely over a year older than me--and I am 43 and a half.

My sister is now 8.5 months pregnant and it's touch and go whether she'll be 41 or 42 when db makes an appearance. All a bit accidental but after a bit of a wobble her boyfriend has stepped up to the plate. Best of wishes and luck.

I conceived first time at 36. I bet it will be ages next time! A friend had her first at 39 second at 40 16 months later. 4 colleagues at work have had one or more babies over 39. A woman I met on holiday, her mother had 4 children after 40!! A woman I met today her second at 42, first at 40

Haven't read thread but for dd (conceived when I was 40), had crazed love-making session for 3 days while Persona was showing "fertile period".

Blu - snap! - my midwife nearly fell off her chair with shock - only I said 20 minutes (but then dh was with me so I had to stay that, really)

What inspiring stories, I will be ttc soon because I've just had my second miscarriage. Got out of hospital yesterday and feeling pretty sh*y but determined I will try again soon. I'm 41 (and feeling it right now I must say), but ever hopeful so all inspiration gratefully received.

My very dear friend conceived at the age of 44, after 2 years of trying. The result - one bright, gorgeous goddaughter for me! Wishing you all the best.
