You Can Get Pregnant Over 40, Naturally: Overcoming In-fertility and Recurrent Loss in your late 30's and 40's naturally
by Sandy Robertson
-- We are not ‘victims’ of in-fertility. For most of us, our past choices brought us where we are today. You need to accept yourself where you are with no regrets. Many women in their late 30’s and 40’s didn’t want children early in life. You certainly are entitled to change your mind without feeling like you owe anyone an explanation. I found that society in general is critical of ‘older’ women having children, but the same standard doesn’t seem to apply to men. It’s your life and you are entitled to everything it has to offer.

Ready: Why Women Are Embracing the New Later Motherhood
by Elizabeth Gregory
--  In Ready, Elizabeth Gregory tracks the burgeoning trend of new later motherhood and demonstrates that for many women today, waiting for family works best. She provides compelling evidence of the benefits of having children later —by birth or by adoption.
Gregory reveals that large numbers of women succeed in having children between 35 and 44 by the usual means (one in seven kids born today has a mom in that age range), and that many of those who don’t succeed nonetheless find alternate routes to happy families via egg donation or adoption. And they’re glad they waited.

Enhancing Fertility After Age 40
by Jan Andersen
-- Fertility is the major area of concern for women over 40 seeking to become pregnant, not least because of the abundance of negative statistics that serve only to cause unnecessary anxiety and decreasing hope. The truth is that may women have the ability to conceive naturally well into their forties and to give birth to perfectly healthy babies.
The aim of this book is to help you maximize your chances of conceiving after the age of 40, taking into consideration all aspects of health and natural therapies to enhance fertility. It is not necessary to practice every therapy recommended within this book and my advice would be to assess your health as a whole initially and then choose a program that you feel will suit your personal needs.
