[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to the RE when I was 41 after a few losses TTC #2. They did whatever tests and scans they do and then said, essentially, we’ll take your money but the odds are that IVF will not be successful. They showed me a chart that was disheartening.

We started researching adoption but then I got pregnant naturally a few months later. Healthy pregnancy and healthy child, now 5. We were (and are) incredibly fortunate. In all I think it took about a year to conceive #2.

Here’s what I did: I read “it starts with the egg” and followed quite a bit of the advice in it, including avoiding a lot of plastics.  I stopped alcohol and caffeine, took prenatal vitamins, as well as some of the supplements suggested in the book. I went to yoga regularly to help lower stress. I did weekly acupuncture focused on boosting fertility. We used ovulation strips and “pre seed” lubricant.

No idea if any of those things made any difference at all, other than the ovulation strips to know when I was ovulating. I did feel pretty good physically though and it made me feel like I was doing something, which helped.

Good luck to you!

Yes to all of this.  Plus,

- take husband in to get his semen tested.  Use a fertility clinic for this; they have on-site labs which provide comprehensive analysis.  [/quote]
