46 TTC need advise!

[Bohrer]

I am 46 and ttc, I have not been on birth control in over 15 years, my oldest is 26 and youngest 15. My husband and I are wanting a baby even though we are older. We are going to clinic to check his levels and sperm and then check my levels. I wanted to know if the Royal Jelly and the Fertiligreens would do me any good??

Please advise.

Not heard of either of those. Id say tests at the clinic is a good place to start. Your problem is really the age of your eggs. I assume you didn't have issues when you were younger. If the clinic recommend going straight to assisted conception I'd go with it.
Good Luck

My problem in my 40's is egg age, plus blocked tubes out of noplace..I agree, if they offer ivf go for it gl

we cant afford the ivf i heard it is exspensive, so I have been doing the Fertiligreens and Royal jelly. Does anyone know if this will help?

TBH I think the herbs can be a huge waste of cash, time and give false hopes.

You say you are going to a clinic to check your fertility levels out. I would take their recommendations as to your next step. They may or may not recommend IVF which is about £5,000 a shot. They might based on your hormone levels recommended that you try clomid or something first, clomid is about £35 per month the expensive bit is seeing a consultant.
