Getting Pregnant at 40

Hello Everyone

wondering if anyone has had success getting pregnant at 40 after having a Mirena. I had my Mirena (IUD) removed in December and its not August and still have been unsuccessful. I have two children although the youngest is 14. Really hoping to get pregnant. Any advice, please share.  Yes, i do realize that at 40 my chances are decreasing with every second.

Hi,

there are many women on this website who have been successful in getting pregnant over 40.  I'm hoping some will reach out to you and share their stories.  Yes, it is harder but its not impossible.  Also there is always a possibility of using donor eggs or embryos, which many women have also used.  

Best of luck to you! Joann
