Q: 40+ Pregnancy

asked by: Hernando on August 8th, 2009

New User

My wife and I have tried for some time to have children. We're both over 40 and postponed children for some time -- we've been married for 15 years and started trying about three years ago.
I think the problem is we waited too long. Fertility rates drop dramatically after mid-30s.
We're trying a lot of options now. My wife is giving acupuncture a shot.
What do you think of using acupuncture?

Thanks!

A change in diet possibly helps too

Look up pregnancy over 40 on you tube... There's some information there regarding diets and pregnancy over 40

Also, when not being able to conceive (not saying you aren't...), both eggs and sperm have to be examined... meaning it's not always down to the womans biology when not getting pregnant...

Go to check all possibilities
