Fertile longer?

So I’ve read that PCOS and/or just being anovulatory can result in one being fertile longer than average (due to fewer eggs being released over a lifetime, presumably). Has anyone else had confirmation of this ?

Also wondering how this might affect the old Biological Clock, since mine really didn’t start ticking AT ALL until I was in my 40s.

I have pcos and saw your post so i started reading and googling lol. It seems that they are saying it is true due to our eggs resting and not maturing because of the hormonal balance. Good news for me as i am 43 and trying! Gonna go read more!! Babydust!!

this is true. I have pcos and turning 40 and had a scan done 2 years ago dr said I have the same amount of eggs as a 20 year old because we are born with almost double the amount of eggs as a normal woman and we don't release our eggs every month so once we hit 40 we get fertile which I have experienced because note for the past 2 years my period had been regular and I got pregnant a few months ago but sadly my son stopped developing at 10 weeks due to trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome)

I am also doing ubiquinol... also vitamin d is good for fertility!

Thank you both for sharing your stories. I have certainly felt like a “late bloomer”. I’m currently taking Ubiquinol and DHA as they supposedly boost egg health.

Same story. I had twins at 36. I have 4 boys and did fertility drugs to get pregnant every time. Aftr i had my twins my periods became more regular and i even got pms! Then at 40 i got remarried and didn’t use protection cos I didn’t think i would get preggo. Married 2 months and bam pregnant. Lost my baby at 11 weeks, but it stopped developing at 8. I am so happy to see these stories!! Only thing i worry is... ok... we have the longer fertility, but wht about the egg quality☹️
