You can overcome infertility after 40 by applying certain natural fertility methods correctly. Many older women failed to get pregnant just simply because they can't find the right time when they can fall pregnant.
And there is a biological basis for it. The ability of women to fall pregnant decreases with age. That means the older you are there are fewer days in a month you can fall pregnant. And after 35 – 40 you may only have 1-2 days in a few months you are able to conceive.
So what time of the month are you fertile?
You are most fertile 12 to 14 days before the beginning of your next period. But this time can vary depending on many factors: stress level, illness, changing your environment and the like.
If your ovulation does not come every month (like for many women after 35-40), it is very difficult to pinpoint the time when you are fertile. So, checking on your ovulation time gets more important the older you get.
Secondly, a healthy baby doesn’t result just because ‘egg meets sperm’. It is necessary to have a freshly released egg and new sperm to conceive at an older age. To avoid old sperm you should stop having intercourse a couple of days before ovulation, as sperm can last up to 3 days inside the body.
To avoid old eggs you should not have intercourse just after your peak ovulation day. Although the egg is still viable (up to 24 hours after release), the problem is ageing and potential defects that can occur to the egg especially in older women. Remember that a woman is born with all the eggs she will ever have, so an egg when you are 40 has been around as long as you have.
The right time to conceive would be at the peak day of ovulation. It is the time when you should have frequent intercourse and when a fresh released egg can meet fresh released sperm.
Thirdly, it is important to build up the sperm count prior to intercourse. There are techniques that men can use to build up their sperm count, so that the day before you ovulate they are able to deliver the maximum number of healthy sperm.
One of the simple strategies to build up sperm account is abstain from sex 3-4 days before the woman’s ovulation time. But no longer, because any longer than this you will risk sperm ageing prior to ejaculation.
To conclude, these simple strategies (pinpointing your ovulation, avoiding old eggs and sperm and building up sperm prior to conception) can be a number one strategy you can use to fall pregnant at an older age. These techniques are natural, non-invasive, harmless and very effective. Applying them correctly may save you from having to have IVF or other surgical procedures to get pregnant.

How to Fall Pregnant faster despite medical problems.
To fall pregnant faster you need to identify the exact day of ovulation. This is important especially when you are getting older or having medical problems.
Why is this?
Well, it is because a young woman is fertile only a few days in a month. When you get older or have any health problems ovulation (egg release) becomes rarer. It may happen once in 2-3 month or even more rarely.
So, when a woman is fertile for only 1-2 days in 2-3-4 months it gets very complicated to pinpoint their fertile days. And often this is only the reason why a pregnancy does not occur.
The best way to identify your ovulation day is by using a natural method. Identifying ovulation time with special devises can lead to mistakes, especially devises that check the level of hormones in the urine. The level of hormones in urine increases later then it happens in the blood. So, when you see your ovulation time on a urine analysis devise it could be too late, especially in older women as the egg has already been released.
Secondly, when you identify you ovulation time it is important to deliver the highest amount of sperm possible. To achieve this, your partner should abstain from any sexual activity for at least 3 days before your ovulation time occurs to build up the amount of sperm. No ejaculation at all for 3 days.
Thirdly, it is important to have sexual intercourse not just randomly around ovulation time but on the exact day when a fresh egg has just been released.
The last research shows that an old egg (which has been released 2-3 days ago) is unlikely to end up in a healthy pregnancy. And even when an old egg meets sperm and fertilization does occur the fetus will not survive long and pregnancy will finish with an early stage miscarriage. A woman in this case may not even realize she is having a miscarriage. It normally looks like an overdue period that happens to be heavier than normal.
Old sperm that has been released for more then 24 hours can also be potentially defective. This can give the same result like the old egg, ending up with an early stages miscarriage.
That means that having intercourse before the exact ovulation time is not very beneficial to falling pregnant and achieving a healthy pregnancy.
To sum up, many older women or women with different medical problems may have only 1-2 days in a few or many months when they can fall pregnant. They often miss this time so to them it looks like they are infertile.
This problem can be solved by knowing the exact ovulation day and the best way is to pinpoint the time using natural methods. It also important to avoid old egg and old sperm which are normally potentially defective and don't end up in a viable pregnancy.
And finally, building up sperm for the exact ovulation day can be an indispensable tip to falling pregnant successfully.

When is the best time to get pregnant?
By Dr Irina Webster
How many women (and maybe men) want to know the answer to this simple question?
But is this question really simple to answer? For some people maybe yes. But for others who have been trying to conceive for a long time and have never succeeded it is not.
So, when you are likely to conceive? Of course it is at ovulation time when an egg is released and ready to be fertilized. But why is pregnancy so difficult to achieve sometimes?
What happens is: when a woman is young (in her twenties) she ovulates nearly every month, excluding the time of severe stress, illness or other changes that affect ripening and releasing an egg.
The older she becomes her ovulation comes less often. Some women may have a chronic condition or illnesses that can also make ovulation irregular.
So a women in her late 30s or 40s who are still trying to get pregnant but can't despite of having frequent intercourse, may experience ovulation only once in 2-3 months, in some cases maybe even less often.
This makes it very easy for a couple to miss their 1-2 days of peak ovulation time to make conception happen.
For this reason it is really important to know the exact ovulation time to conceive or you are just wasting your efforts.
It is scientifically proven now, that in order to achieve a healthy viable pregnancy you need freshly released egg and sperm. What does this mean - freshly released?
Sperm life span is about 3 days after ejaculation. Sperm is considered to be freshly released in the 1st and maybe 2nd day. On the third day sperm becomes old and potentially defective. Even if old sperm fertilizes the egg, the pregnancy is likely to abort in the early stages (often it appears as a heavy period, heavier than usual).
What should you do to avoid this happening?
In order to avoid fertilization with old defective sperm, you should avoid sex 3-4 days before ovulation occurs, then start having frequent intercourse the day before ovulation and at the time of ovulation. After ovulation you should abstain for 1-2 days again to avoid impregnating an old egg.
For example, if your ovulation occurs on day 14 you should:
- abstain on day 11-12 (to avoid old sperm)
- have frequent intercourse on day 13 and 14
- abstain again on day 15 (to avoid old egg)
This scheme will ensure fertilization occurs when a fresh egg and sperm are present and avoids fertilization of an old egg with old sperm which normally result in early miscarriage.
This example shows you that there is only two days in a cycle you are likely to get pregnant with a viable pregnancy. But if ovulation occurs only once in a two-three or a four month period, it will be even harder to get pregnant if you don't know exactly your ovulation time and have frequent intercourse exactly at the time of ovulation.
To sum up, if you have been trying for a long time to have a baby and it is not happening: then it is a sure bet you are missing the vital times (especially in cases of unexplained infertility). You need to learn your exact ovulation time or you will continue to miss.
Secondly, you should avoid conception with old eggs and old sperm as they are potentially defective and often don't progress to a healthy pregnancy.
