conceived naturally over age 36?

Conceived naturally at 40 after 8 months of trying - miscarried.

Conceived naturally at 41, 9 months later - had my child at age 42. My pregnancy and delivery was uncomplicated.

CONGRATS to all!

I did, 4 times in a year, but 3 were miscarriages. The 4th stuck and baby was born right before I turned 37.

Yes. Conceived at 42 naturally after 2 months. My sister conceived naturally at 40 and 41.5, minimal trying.

Noooooooo

This happens to women in their 40s more often than you’d think!

I know a number of women who had an oops around 40. I think it's easy to get a little sloppy with BC when you're so busy and the "common knowledge" is it's hard for women to get pregnant after their late 30's. The reality is it's hardER but still pretty common.
