[quote=Anonymous][quote][quote]Sometimes these doctors pull statistics out of the air. I wonder how he came up with 5% when you gave birth less than 2 years ago. 
 How old are you?[/quote]

Seriously. How do they calculate this stuff. I was told 3%. After 18 months of trying naturally, a SG doctor told me I had 3% chance of conceiving naturally. I went through a ton of diagnostic tests and they told me my infertility could not be explained. I did do two rounds of IVF and got my first child. But my second child was conceived after three times of unprotected s*x on a day I didn't think I was ovulating. The body is mysterious. Don't lose hope yet. [/quote]

1+.  I think perhaps you should see a new RE.  There is a lot that can be done short of IVF if that seems too invasive.  Clomid (i.e. just taking something to stimulate more egg production), IUIs, etc.  This treatments will be hampered by low ovarian reserve but as PPs have said the body doesn't really work according to statistics. I wouldn't usually push it but you have expressed a strong desire to have a second, so it may be worth taking a closer look if infertility is the main issue holding you back. [/quote]
