Examine your programming about age.
Do you honestly feel it is possible for you to get pregnant, or do you feel you are “too old”? Remember, in the last 50 years, births to women over the age of 40 have increased 50 percent.
In cultures where women have not been told that their eggs are too old, they are often able to conceive in their fifties and even in their sixties. The Huichol Indians of Mexico are such a culture.

I think I have finally found the Doctor for me. Don't have time to write much now, but just wanted to share with you all that she told me proudly that she delivered the baby of a 47 year old patient recently. This woman had been trying for about 5 years. It was natural. She had more or less given up.
The fact that the Doctor was so pleased with this story made me feel she will be supportive of my TTC journey.
