Several successful customers in their 40's have shared their stories via our website, either through our in-depth Success Stories or more informally through the testimonials. While it's more challenging for women over 40 to fall pregnant naturally it's not impossible. Of course, luck has a huge part to play but you may be able to improve your odds.
One of the changes many women experience as they grow older is an imbalance in the key hormones necessary for ovulation and conception. FertilitySmart Conceive for Women optimises levels of oestrogen and progesterone, regulating the menstrual cycle and promoting ovulation.
Egg quality is far more important than egg quantity when trying to conceive naturally. Anti-oxidants in Conceive for Women protect the rapidly developing eggs from the sort of DNA damage that could prevent conception. It also promotes the growth of a healthy endometrial lining which is essential for a successful pregnancy.
There are also some lifestyle interventions that might help - stopping smoking if you smoke being the most important! Also, staying within or getting to a recommended weight (neither too high or too low), moderate daily physical exercise, limiting or eliminating caffeine and alcohol, swapping out low fat for high fat dairy products like milk and yoghurt. Reducing levels of stress through mindfulness/meditation has also been shown to be helpful.
