Trying to have a baby at 36

hi ladies im 36, i currently have a 13 and a 16 year old girls, however with my new marriage of two years hubby and I are trying to have a baby of our own, I am on my 3rd day of 100mg clomid, im so worried that i might have waited too long to have a 3rd baby, i have never once since my youngest daughter that is 13 yrd old have i been pregnant. I feel like i have all the odds against me i so want this so bad i just cry sometimes and feel broken but my doctor says im fine that he doesnt see why i couldnt conceive again he prescribed clomid to help my ovulation since i dont ovulate alot

Don't worry it will happen in time. I'm in my 2nd marriage hubby & I tried for s year before I got pregnant. Did sperm counts, cleared my tubes, I had a tiny cyst but doctor said put me on clomid 50mg 5-9 & it amazingly worked first time! (35w3 days)
Be careful though cause I heard too high of a dose makes your cm dry but good luck age is still on your side :-)

There's no reason why you can't have a baby at your age, I'm 37 and 22 weeks pregnant with my third child. My youngest is 9 (from a previous marriage) and this is my partner's first baby. It took us 7 months to conceive, and most of that reason was because my partner has bad sperm morphology! So, even with the odds stacked against us, it still happened!

I found it took a whole to find the right dose of Clomid before I got regnant. I started on 50mg, and I didnt ovulate. Then we upped it to 100 mg and it showed I did ovulate..... But...... I wasn't getting pregnant.  Several months had passed. I asked the doctor if we could try to increase it again, so we went to 150mg. I got pregnant right away. All 3 times that I have gotten pregnant it had been at the 150mg dose.
I wish you all the best! I hope you get pregnant soon :)
