[quote=Anonymous]Got pregnant with my first being a bit careless (we were going to try in the next few months) just after 39th bday. Wanted a second at late 41, but discovered DH had severe MF and IVF over 40 far from a sure thing. Fertility declines drastically over 40, particularly the quality of eggs (i.e., # of genetically normal ones). Whether it takes the nose dive at 40, 41, 42 or whenever depends on the person. I'm lucky, but it wasn't easy. A friend of mine who had her first at 38 tried again at 40-41 could get pregnant easily, but had 5 early miscarriages before deciding to stop. So it's not just about getting pregnant... Definitely don't be too worried at 36, but if you want more than 1, you should be planning to be sure you're able to get the embryos sooner rather than later. Maybe that means having kids close together, or maybe that means doing IVF and freezing some for later so you can space your kids out.[/quote]
