[quote=Anonymous]I'm dealing with secondary infertility (which I know is a different emotional experience than primary), and have been trying to get pregnant with a second child unsuccessfully for 4 years now.  I have decreased ovarian reserve and multiple infertility treatments were unsuccessful.  We are now just trying on our own until I go into menopause.  Between my age (39) and DOR issues (which are mild) my chances of ever getting pregnant again are extremely low.

The emotional pain and turmoil has diminished somewhat over this journey as my daughter gets older, but I am still sad every day and talking to pregnant women/hearing about pregnancies makes me feel really sad and depressed.  Most of my good friends are either pregnant with #2 or have newborns/infants, and I am avoiding them.  I tried therapy but it did not help at all.  I feel like I don't have great coping skills for this and I do not know a single person who also has secondary infertility to talk to, which is the hardest part about all this.  Everyone else I know (even those over 40) got pregnant with their second right away, I'm the only one who can't.[/quote]
