I agree, dont assume you cant get pregnant. I have a yr old, then we tried for 7-8 months or so, then I gave up, and now I am 5 weeks, UNPLANNED (38 yrs old).Good luck ladies!!

sorry to hear about your miscarriage but you're right, the hardest thing is often to get pregnant and you know you can do that naturally so positive thoughts and good luck! x

Unfortunately 11 week scan didnt go well, no heartbeat, but I am planning to try again during the summer. Wasnt sure whether to put myself through this again but after reading your posts it has encouraged me because as so many of you say, getting pregnant is the main thing. Have been so sad I couldnt come on until now but I have to assume there was some reason it didnt work out this time & hopefully it will the next x.

I'm sorry for your loss. I think you're approaching this in a healthy way, though. I also hope you get a BFP as soon as you're ready again.

I am 36, nearly 30 weeks pregnant with my first. My partner is 48 and overjoyed because he believed he would never have kids (no fertility issues, just a broken long-term relationship and then a partner who had kids already and didn't want more). I got pregnant quite literally first time we tried! This pregnancy has been a dream, I feel great and no problems at all so far, knock on wood.

I am far from alone in my close circle. Among my close girlfriends I have several friends who had children post-35 with no medical assistance:
- one with healthy twins, first month of trying at 36, first children
- one with healthy boy at 40, four months of trying, first kid
- one with healthy boy at 43 after trying for several years then giving up, first kid
- one with healthy girl at 42, three months of trying, second kid
- one just had her fourth healthy child at 43, had third at 41 and other two in late 30s.
- one 24 weeks pregnant currently at 35, two months of trying, first child.

There is plenty of reason to be positive if you are healthy. My grandmother had my own mother at 40.
