[quote=Anonymous]Yes I can relate OP.  I'm 40, have a son who I got pregnant with on the first try at age 36, perfect pregnancy and delivery, then started TTC #2 when he was 8 months old.  I was soon to learn that I was already completely infertile and would never be pregnant a second time.

Now I've been TTC #2 for 3.5 years, 4 IUIs and 4 IVFs and never seen a BFP.  I have been trying to come to terms with this but it's very hard because I have no answers.  All my tests results are very good/excellent.  If I have DOR it's very mild because my AFC is good.

I feel very depressed about all this. I try to focus on the positives of having an only child and there are many.  But I still feel really sad because my family feels incomplete every day.  It's so incredibly hard.  I just cleared out the closets of all the baby/toddler stuff and that made me feel so incredibly sad.  I've been seeing a therapist who specialized in infertility  but it really hasn't helped.  When I see families with an only child my first reaction is to feel bad for them and I always wonder if they too are experiencing secondary infertility.  When I get sad I try to focus on the better balance i will be able to have with just one (being able to have a career/more time for marriage, hobbies, etc.)[/quote]
