She turned 42 last month and she met my step-dad a few years ago. My Dad died when i was 8 and she had me and my twin sister in 95 and my brother in 2000 I think she desperately wants a baby of the man she loves and a baby too look after and have of her own as we are all growing up. She miscarried last year and i had no idea she was trying to get pregnant until i was told it was none of my business, so i try too keep out of it but sometimes i say something when she blames it purely on stress however i would say yes it was stress if she had insomnia and lack of appetite however its just work and home she is an anxious uptight person and blames her lack of infertility on me A lot. She has recently started buying pills and acupuncture at a chinese shop which i tried too explain was just money making as vulnerable women trying for a baby will do anything for it but she wont listen. Mine and my sisters birth was early as she had too be educed then my mum had an operation as she lost A lot of blood but my brothers birth was fine i dont know if that makes a difference? She also smokes and eats lightly. I know its long but does anyone have any ideas or anything that may help with this? I just want her too be happy, and if a baby can do that then its worth a try.

First of all her infertility has nothing to do with you and for her to blame it on you is sick. Honestly if she treats you that way she doesn’t need another child to abuse mentally.
Also, she is getting to an age when she may be ready to start menopause. At this point in a woman’s life her fertility will naturally decrease and she will not ovulate regularly, even if she is still getting her period. It’s called an anovulatory cycle. If it is meant to be it will be, if it doesn’t I hate to say it but that may be for the best.
The problem most likely lies with her age,even at 35 a woman’s fertility starts to decline and by the time you are 40 and over it has declined even more,that is not to say that she can’t get pregnant but it does mean that it could take longer and that her risk of miscarriage is increased.
To optimize her chances the best thing she can do is to see her doctor who can do blood tests to make sure that she is ovulating and obviously healthy eating and giving up smoking will improve her general health and chances of getting pregnant and having a healthy baby.
She can also use ovulation prediction kits to see when her most fertile times are,don’t be too hard on her about the alternative medicine,if it keeps her feeling positive then it isn’t doing any real harm even if you don’t believe in it.
My mom had the same problem almost. For roughly 9 years she had tried and tried for a baby after my sister was born in 1989. She had like 6-7 miscarriages and tried going to a fertility doctor. They couldn’t find anything wrong with her. So she was suggested to try folic acid while trying and for the first 3 months of pregnancy (in addition to a prenatal while trying and all during pregnancy). She followed the doctors advice on that and within 1 month of trying that she was pregnant and carried to term. Point was it turned out to be a folic acid deficiency.
-Suggest she try a folic acid pill a day while trying
-and a prenatal vitamin
-and charting her cycles (to help pinpoint ovulation)
-and having sex every other day (to let sperm build up) during her fertile period (the week leading up to ovulation)
- and try an ovulation kit (based on her average period following the directions in the box to be used the same time every day and at wal-mart can get like a 7 test kit for $20)
I tried that for 1 1/2 months and now I am in my 18th week of pregnancy with number 3. Or since she is in advanced age (meaning 35 or over) seeing a fertility doctor. And he /she can give her pills to help her ovulate (warning though it may increase her odds for multiples though cause it causes the body to release more than 1 egg at a time).
