How many cycles to conceive age 39-40?

[Anonymous]

Considering conceiving our 3rd. For those who have had a *successful* pregnancy at this "later in life" stage (or whatever you want to call it), how many cycles did it take?

[Anonymous]

Um, 2.5 years.

18 months for me, for a successful pregnancy.

For #2, it was 3 months at age 39; had baby at 40. I had #1 at 38 (1st miscarriage and then waited a few months and then 1 month of trying)

I am the previous poster. I did use ovulation predictors.

I got pregnant with #3 the month after my period returned post partum at age 39. My middle child was 6 months old at the time.
