[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want more than one -- then time to get started.  You are already considered "advanced maternal age" by doctors and will require all sorts of extra tests during your pregnancy.  It could take 6 months to get pregnant (if all goes well, no miscarriage, etc.), then 9 months before you deliver, and it will take at least 6 months before you could start trying for a 2nd.  Y[b]our odds of a successful pregnancy drop 15% every year[/b] from 35 onwards.  Get to it![/quote]

So, if she waits a year, she goes from an 18% chance per month to a 17% chance at age 36. At age 20 she only had a 20% chance, per this chart. And OP has frozen embryos. She has this time, but if after whatever agreed-upon 6-months-to-a-year period she's still hemming and hawing, then she and her husband need to make some big decisions.[/quote]

Don't let people freak you out. I had first at 38 and 2nd at 41. Bit conceived naturally with no assisted fertility.[/quote]
