Reasonably hard but not impossible. I believe more likely if she's already had at least one kid. In terms of increasing her chances, I'd say probably have a LOT of sex with a LOT of guys right around ovulation. Other than that, go back in time and start sooner--like in her early 20s

Shouldn’t be hard at all , unless she has complications or the guy she is having sex with is shooting blanks or his sperm is bad. Just go to the doctor and get checked out and you should be good to go

It's not impossible. I've seen it happen a lot. This is more of a question for your doctor though. They can help you look into things like IVF or hormones if you need them. Good luck!

It’s not as hard as the myths will lead you to believe but I’m sure fertility treatments are available if you feel insecure

[rosemilk]

not that hard if you know when you ovulate

depends on your genes but no matter what your genes and your success rate are what's also high is your chance to get a child with down syndrome or other birth defects.

I don’t know the numbers, but it worked for my mom at 40, and now you’re all stuck with me😝

It is far more common than some people think.

Why are u asking us instead of a doc? You're too old for this

Yes I agree 45 is way to old. Put you and the child in danger.

Many women can get pregnant at 40 but the health risks are much higher so it increasingly becomes, should you.

That depends on the woman. For some it's easy, for others it's almost impossible.

Keep having sex every day eventually she’ll get pregnant
