[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your numbers were probably consistent at 36, you had 1 egg and a very small chance of conceiving, and then you got lucky.  Your problem is that you are assuming that because you got pregnant at 36 that it was because you were normally fertile and it was 'easy'.  In reality, you probably had almost no chance, but were lucky.  There wasn't a rapid decline, there was just one lucky pregnancy.

Either move into getting assistance, or come to terms with only having one unless you GET LUCKY again.

Yes, I'm sorry, OP, but I think this is correct. It's easy to think "I was super fertile at 36 because I got pregnant on the first try," but so much of that is luck. It took me quite awhile to conceive kid #2 at age 35. Sometimes I think that if we'd waited to start TTC until my husband and son's birthday month, I would have gotten pregnant on the "first try," and I would have thought I was still very fertile in my mid-30s. The truth is that I am not and that it took quite awhile to conceive at that age. If you'd started TTC 10 months earlier than you did for kid #1, you might have taken 10 months to get pregnant. You know?

I'm sorry this has been such a struggle. [/quote]
