writes: My partner and I are trying to concieve. She is 40, I am 42. I have had 2 children, over 13 years ago, with another partner. She has never been pregnant. SHe has been taking prenatal vitamins.My partner is having surgery to remove polyps in her uterus. Her reproductive doctor said this might increase her chances, along with FSH and a few other things. We agreed we wont go so far as IVF, but we may do IUI.Now for me...got tested. 95 million sperm per "shot", 11% have good motility. They like to see 35% or more, but since the count was so high, its still very good. I have been taking good male vitamins rich in zinc, selenium and all that good sperm stuff.My questions are: What experiences have any 40+ women here had with concieving under similar circumstances? What can I do to improve motility beyond being healthy (I do not smoke, drink or do any drugs) and taking vitamins. I even make sure to keep heat away from that area, exercise, etc.My partner and I have sex daily if not more, and I sometimes wonder if the volume is just low because of the frequency. The 95 million is after 2 days abstinence, and is noticably more than if I cum every day or twice a day.Any thoughts?

 My girlfriend is big into the reproductive field. The major concern is with birth defects which is why it is important to have a doctor monitor the pregnancy more often then if she was younger. That being said there is nothing actually stoping you two from conceiving. She should still get pregnant it may just take more tries and as for being pregnant I don't think there are any major differences. A friend or the family was pregnant around that age and had no problems what so ever.
Best of luck to you both.
