Hello ladies
This is my first time of posting although I have been reading your stories for many months. I want to share with you my story to give you all hope. I am 41, and have been TTC for 18 months with new partner. I already have 3 children from my previous relationship. General tests by GP showed no real reasons for infertility. Tests (done privately and hugely expensive) 4 months ago showed my FSH levels as 49, the other hormone levels, all also out of normal ranges. I was told by a Consultant Gynaecologist that my ovaries had stopped working and I was well into the menopause.
The shock absolutely destroyed me and I returned to my GP who said that stress and anxiety about falling pregnant may have put my body into temporary menopause. I tried hypnotherapy to help me stop thinking about where I was in my cycle. I am delighted to report that am now approx 8 weeks pregnant. I say approximately because the hypnotherapy made me forget exactly where I was in my cycle so it is difficult to calculate dates!!
I have read that stress and anxiety is one of the biggest factors affecting fertility.
I hope this gives some of you hope and I thoroughly recommend the hypnotherapy.
Good Luck everyone x

Lovely news 
H&H 9 months to you hun.
) I personally wouldn't stress so much if the media and doctors didn't hammer home the "if you're over 35 you may as well forget it" message so damn much! 
nothing happened, all tests were good on both sides. Last month I went on holiday for 2 weeks, didn't do anything or take anything, except pre-natals, drank beer, wine, relaxed, had lots of BDing, and finally got my BFP 
I'm 41 and praying it's a keeper this time!
Well, in my imagination, anyway!
