[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's really weird to be totally infertile at age 35, especially where IVF can't fix it. [/quote]

It's really not that weird.  I have meet plenty of people (myself included) that were infertile to the point where multiple IVFs didn't work in their 20s let alone 30s.   IVF is not a cure all, as much as we like to think it is.  And as many doctors have told me over the years, we don't know everything. [/quote]

The average woman used to have 5-10 kids, one of them in her 40s, and you know a bunch of people who couldn't get one kid, no matter the age of the mother, with IVF and that doesn't strike you as something going on? [/quote]

There were infertile women/men years ago too.   An average women can still have 5-10 if she wants (look at very religious communities). I'm just saying that age isn't everything in IVF.  Plenty of times it's MF also (or a combination/unexplained as in my case).   IVF doesn't always work no matter what age the mother is. It's a great tool and can help many people, but it's not a cure all. I'm proof of this and so are the people I've met over the years (in various fertility centers  throughout the county).  [/quote]

I read somewhere the modern infertility rate of Amish women is only 2%. This 20% we're seeing is not normal. [/quote]
