Hi there! Although I do not know the exact chances, it is more difficult to conceive after 40 for the simple fact that your eggs are aging with you. It certainly is not impossible and it can be done with tons of support from those around you. Also, know your chances of certain birth defects can also be higher. Learn as much as you can, FOLIC ACID - eat well, sleep well avoid alcohol and nicotine. All of this will help things along. Take an early pregnancy or preconception class - this can be a great benefit to you as well. Good luck - I wish I could be of more help.

Best Wishes, Elizabeth NJ
