Hahahha no, I’m just curious. There is a lot of talk on the TTC board, which i still follow, about conceiving over 35.

I think the TTC forum is not a good judge of how fertile most women are or are not in their 30s.

I think it depends. If you have a problem, then your chances are basically zero. It’s not 18% for everyone. Also, if you haven’t had a child before, it will most likely be much harder.

I had my first via IVF at 42 then a surprise baby conceived naturally at 45 and delivered at 46.

Yes. 36 and 38.

Well, I had a child at 33 and wasn't able to conceive again. No detectable infertility or autoimmune issues, male or female.

So YMMV.

^ PP. Currently 38.

I think it’s 18% each month you try, right? I think it’s 20-25% in your twenties

My second child was born at age 36. I got pregnant the first month of trying.

Yes, twice.

For #2, it took about 8 months but we did it on our own. (Conceived #1 without interventions as well.) I was 37 at conception. For #3, we it took two months of trying. I was 39.


I really found that OPKs were the key every single time. Maybe it was just my cycle....

Yes, but after an ectopic and then also miscarriage at 35

I got pregnant at 36 after having sex for about 3 weeks. I was surprised. Luckily, we have a fairly health little boy.

Got pregnant at nearly 36 on the first try. Healthy kid. Got pregnant again at nearly 40, after 9 months of trying. I have 8 more weeks to delivery but genetic analysis so far looks good. Fingers crossed... The second pregnancy has been somewhat harder than the first (more pronounced symptoms) but not materially different.

3 weeks straight? Wow.

Not only natural, but accidental. Condom slipped ONE time.
