Should I Seek Treatment While Attempting A Second Pregnancy In Middle Age?

Hello. I am 35 and looking to try to have me second child. My last was born in 2005. I have only been trying for 3 months but not luck. Very confused about the calculators I keep seeing and if I should just wing it or if I need to take extra herbs ect. at this age. Thank you.

Hi, I think you should take some medicines like clomiphene for the growth of your follicles and track your follicles growth by repeated ultrasound. When follicles reach a size more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for 2 to 3 days. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. If it doesn't work then you can go for IUI. Hope I have answered your question.
