[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fertility declines with age.  What makes you think at 33 you would conceive faster than you did at 31?  It's completely illogical...[/quote]

Actually, for some people they have an easier time conceiving the second time around.

"Doctors aren't sure why the second conception was easier, but they suspect that it had less to do with the IVF treatment than with the pregnancy itself. Some of their theories:

-Fallopian-tube adhesions (strands of scar tissue that can hinder egg entrance into the tubes) tear as the uterus grows, facilitating future conceptions.
-Pregnancy inhibits hormones that contribute to endometriosis, a condition that can lead to infertility.
-The emotional stress of trying to get pregnant may impede women and men's ability to conceive."

This is not what the article says. it says IF YOU USED IVF for #1 you may not need IVF for #2 (18% of former IVFers in the study conceived 2nd one naturally, meaning the other 82% either needed IVF or failed altogether to have a 2nd child).   Which is not the same as saying if you have 1 kid you will conceive the 2nd one faster.  It also says that those 33 and younger should give it 2 years before going with ART, while any older - get help ASAP.

The study was on IVF patients, that doesn't mean the findings only apply to them! The study was also only on Japanese patients so that must not be at all relevant eh? I'm sure OP appreciates other's commiseration far more than your negativity. [/quote]
