My grandma was 45 when she gave birth to my mom

I'm wondering if anyone knows if family history/genetics are influential in your ability to conceive. I'm 40, the age my mom was when she had me (by the way - she had 4 of her 5 kids after she was 35) and my grandma was 45 when she gave birth to my mom (both naturally). I'm trying not to get too encouraged by my family history, but I am curious.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
