Many of my friends got pg well into their 40s. I realize it's difficult, but instead of focusing on the conception, focus on enjoying the act. :) [ Reply | More

I'm afraid I don't know the details for all of them, but one of my friends tried for 18 months before she got pg. Hang in there. Thirty-eight isn't that old, and six months isn't that long. [ Reply | More

I got pregnant at 39, first cycle off the pill, I thought it would take months because most of my friends needed help. I don't think 6 months is that long for trying, my ob/gyn said it would probably take 6-12 months. Good Luck. [ Reply | More

do research and try all the tricks (Pre Seed, liquid Geritol, whole milk products instead of skim products, charting your cycle). if you are too thin, try getting a little soft. estrogen is secreted in fat cells. i bet that's why so many NY women need fertility treatments. everyone is too thin and, when we get older, it gets harder to get pregnant so we need the extra estrogen. good luck!

thanks for the tips - I'm not too thin no matter which city you placed me in - it's the new irregularities in my cycle that are making nervous. I'm terrified I'm going into early menopause even though the cycle changes are the only symptom - I have been charting though and I do ovulate [ Reply | More

Stress can affect cycles, so it's not necessarily a sign of early menopause. If you ovulate, you can get pg. When I got pg with ds I was incredibly irregular. In fact I got pg during what would have been a 37-day cycle. [ Reply | More

You should go see a reproductive endocrinologist. Check out www.babymakers.com - they helped me conceive both kids. I don't mean this to be alarming at all... they will help you get things on track. [ Reply | More

no one's mentioned this directly yet, after 35 they recommend consulting your ob if you try for at least 6 months and don't get pregnant. You really need to make an appointment and start getting checked out, because there are things that they can do to help, but you're running against a clock, so they want to start as soon as possible...

Give acupunture a shot before trying more invasive. If in NYC, there is a MD who specializes in acupunture (and fertility issues) in Chinatown on Canal Street. Worked for me. [ Reply | More
