Oh sorry I didn't see this, if you post q's in the forums I see them faster.

At 40 I'd do Femara instead but the way people get either of them is by going to the doctor and NOT asking for it, but instead telling them that you've been TTC a long time (6 months should be plenty) and your LP is short and also you are in a hurry because of your age, and then ask if there is anything they can do to help. They may say no, in which case you say "ok thanks" and go home and TTC naturally. Or they may send you for blood work or to an RE, which you don't have to do, and if they ask you why you didn't, just say you changed your mind about TTC, this happens all the time and is no biggie to them. OR, the option we want is that they'll give you the medication and then you have it, yay. What you don't want to do is go in and demand it and get upset if they say no, because that basically ensures you'll never get it.

Unfortunately some of the women who try to get fertility medication are wanting to abuse it - take high doses to try and get twins or triplets, and doctors (rightfully) don't like that. So they assume that anyone who wants the medication wants it for that reason even though most just want a little help to get pregnant faster. They also usually have not heard about the increased rates of female conceptions while using it and thus if you tell them about that, they'll think you are crazy at best and again, not get the medication. So while there is a large element of luck involved, it's best to just not commit too hard to getting it and hope for the best, expect the worst. Good luck
