I'm TTC#2 so have been reading the boards some. You ladies know a LOT! I just wanted to share some encouragement with you. A family member of mine remarried a few years ago and they tried for about five years with no luck. Prior to that she'd had several miscarriages and in both marriages several failed fertility treatments. I think all in it was seven miscarriages. At age 45 they stopped trying. At age 49 she went to her OB because of the terrible menopause symptoms she was experiencing only to be told she was pregnant, with TWINS. Last year she delivered, full term healthy twin boys just before her 50th birthday. I know the concept of waiting years and years isn't appealing, I'm totally impatient after a few months, but I hope this story helps give someone a renewed sense of hope.
