I was exactly 39&half when I fell pregnant with my daughter (my 1st born) ... she was concieved naturally with the help of a herbal formula !!

She was born naturally & drug-free 4mths past my 40th birthday ... I will be 43 next Jan & we have so far been trying for another bub for 1year again with the help with the same herbal formula which I've been taking (I think) since Feb this year !!

With my daughter I was told I would not concieve without the help of IVF & yet I had her naturally.

This January I was told by a IVF specialist that I have a slim chance of even falling pregnant on IVF ... their reason purely because of my age & no other reason.

I guess because we also hear of stories of women having babies at 50 we keep trying. I too wonder at what age do I decide that I have tried & it's time to try no more

I honestly don't know whether I could go past 45 or 46 ... purely because I know I myself am not the fittest person & with my daughter I never realised how much physical energy they took to look after.

I wish you heartfelt wishes in whatever you chose to do from here on
