[quote=Anonymous]This is 18:44 again.

I also wanted to mention something that Dr. Sauer told me about DOR that made me feel better.  Baring a few rare and specific causes, DOR is essentially a symptom of early menopause. (POF, or Premature Ovarian Failure, is just DOR diagnosed after the fact instead of during the process. They are, in fact, the same except for semantics.) The age of truly diminished fertility where likelihood of conception is nil sits on a bell curve, with most women falling between 45 and 50. Correspondingly, the center of the bell curve for menopause is between 50 and 55.  But, as with all bell curves, someone has to be at the extreme edges. Since fertility declines about three to five years before the onset of menopause, he said that if you took a random group of 500 women, there would always be one that aged out of fertility by thirty.  It is just statistics.

This somehow made me feel better because it made me realize that I didn't do anything to cause this.  I just naturally ended up on the extreme of one side of the fertility bell curve.  [/quote]
