The excerpt is a single-speaker health/advice segment (speaker labeled "SPEAKER A") covering fertility for people aged 35+, explaining that natural pregnancy is possible but may take longer, highlighting the importance of overall health and lifestyle (diet, sleep, hydration, exercise), tracking cycles/ovulation, and getting early hormone testing and medical consultation (OB‑GYN or fertility specialist). It also references statistical odds (about a 20% monthly chance in the 20s that declines with age).

If you've never been pregnant before and you're 35+, can I get pregnant naturally? Yes, you can have a successful pregnancy and a normal delivery at 35 or older. Overall health is the goal and pregnancy is the outcome. Things that you have heard your whole life— you are what you eat, resting, and water intake are super important because they are such contributors to your hormone health and your hormone balancing. Tracking your cycles and symptoms, paying attention to what your body is telling you, start paying attention to the signals that our body is sending us so that we're ovulating. We have to do what we can, what's in our control, and giving your best effort. Your diet, your exercise, your sleep, your hydration all contribute to hormone health. Now, statistically, getting pregnant naturally after 35 might take a little bit longer. An average cycle at the highest reproductive period in your life, in your 20s, is about 20% chance per month. That steadily starts to decline as you age. But if you have overall health, it doesn't matter if you're 5, and you're doing your best to incorporate whole food diet, a healthy lifestyle, then you're going to be able to contribute to your success. The last thing that I would say is get tested early. Don't just try to conceive naturally and don't do any testing. It's really important that those things go hand in hand and that you talk to your practitioner, your OB-GYN, if you're seeing a fertility specialist, as you're trying to get pregnant naturally so that you can have a baseline for your hormone levels and track where you It also helps in your decision-making process of how long you're actually going to try naturally. Make sure that everything is working good.
