[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think more should be made of this.  Everyone thinks its OK to wait, it's really not. Over 40 many people are using DE and not talking about it.  That wouldn't have been an option for me.[/quote]

Huh? What this shows is that it IS ok to wait.  Most people who wait until their mid/late 30s do it because they haven't met the right partner yet or are dealing with some other life circumstance.  [/quote]

If that's the hand life dealt them, fine. I'm 35 trying to have a 3rd and have had one chemical pregnancy and one miscarriage at 35. My experience is consistent with the data. [/quote]

You've already had 2 kids and it's statistically overwhelming likely you'll have your 3rd. So it sounds like, just like the data says, your reproductive choices have and will continue to work out.  If you want to beat yourself up over trying for #3 at 35 instead of 34 go ahead, but that's totally irrational.  [/quote]

I had #2 at 33. I knew the risks of trying again at 35--namely, increased risk of miscarriages. We should shout this from the rooftops. Women should know the risk of having multiple miscarriages will go up trying to conceive at 35+. [/quote]
