jess... there are ALOT of ladies your age havnig a TR, and some successfully. I would suggest having some hormone levels done (FSH, estradiol, progesterone) all done on CD3 and a full physical by your doc to make sure you are healthy and ready to get pregnant. Along with age come many factors that can hinder fertility, but many of them are "treatable". Insulin issues, thyroid problems, other health issues or problems with previous pregnancies to name a few. Most likely, you will be given a clean bill of health, but it is better to know what you are up against before having the TR. Then, after TR you may need to be alittle more aggressive about TTC, but as long as you have a supportive OB/GYN you will be in good hands.
I had my TR at 41 in April of last year. After almost a year and a half of trying (temping, charting, u/s monitoring, medicated cycles, etc) I am finally pregnant for the first time. It seemed like a long journey, but shorter than some. Just know that it is possible - look at the weekly pregnancy reports and you will see many women over 40 getting BFPs. Good luck!
