[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.

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 don't sound very sorry at all.  You actually sound quite pleased with yourself.  I'm also someone who got pregnant naturally quickly twice in my late 30s, and I think your attitude is harsh and unscientific.  Many women our age do struggle.  Also, if you're the same poster who was defensive about secondary infertility because your kids had a 4 year age gap, you sound insecure.  When I was pregnant with my first, several people asked if I did IVF.  It was nosy but they didn't mean any harm; they were asking because they had friends who did need IVF at this age.  [/quote]
