[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had multiple miscarriages before conceiving, both at 33 and 36. Even though I did ultimately have a live birth both times, the losses were hard and I wish people were more upfront about the likelihood of more emotionally difficult losses in this age range. [/quote]

I'm very sorry for your losses but some of us can't be up front about that because it never happened to us. I got pregnant about two months after we started trying when I was 35 and I had the baby at 36, and the same when I was 38/39. It was easy peasy, no fertility struggles. I feel the opposite of you -- the internet tells you it will be so hard,  you're so old, blah blah but I and my good friends had no trouble at all having babies at 35+ The struggles are a lie. Your miscarriages are just genetics, PP. Again, very sorry for your losses.[/quote]

You just don’t know about the people that struggled. It happens and is certainly not a lie, people just keep quiet about it. [/quote]

And you don't know about people who didn't struggle because they keep it quiet because they don't want people like you to feel bad about yourselves.[/quote]

Lol yes, that exact 2 year age gap or panned birthday month sure is obfuscating. [/quote]

NP. Just because there isn’t a 2 year gap doesn’t mean there is infertility. A lot of people thought (and some outright asked) if we had fertility issues because our kids are 4 years apart. Nope, not at all (both #1 and #2 were conceived on the first month of trying), we just had other life reasons for the gap. [/quote]

You’re arguing the negative. Point is that fertility is pretty apparent when kids are perfectly timed. Not that other gaps necessarily indicate infertility.[/quote]
