Re: Spinoff of secondary infertility: if it did happen to you...
No. I am too "old". I am not sure I could got through the "hope" and the whole thing then be even more disappointed if it does not work.
I am OK with the possibility. I had a "rough" day last month because it's different talking about it and realizing when you are TTC and get BFNs that it's a true possibility.
I am hoping this is our month.

Re: Spinoff of secondary infertility: if it did happen to you...
It is harder for me to answer, because I did take fertility medication to conceive DS. I have PCOS and do not ovulate on a regular schedule, if I do at all. So for us, getting pregnant with no treatments is not really an option.
I am currently taking the same medication and not responding well to it and the dr. said we might have to think about exploring other options next month, so I am not sure how far we will go for another child. I am pretty sure I would pursue everything I had to in order to have another child, but its hard to say that now.
That being said, this experience has made me appreciate my amazingly little boy even more. I always knew he was my little miracle because he was conceived not long after my best friend passed away and I truly believe she had something to do with "sending" him to me.
We were talking about our options the other day and my DH just stopped and reminded me that we are so lucky to have DS and although I think we will pursue whatever needed to have another child, we know we are blessed to have the one we do.

I don't think you really know what lengths you are willing to go to in order to have #2 until you ARE facing secondary infertility.
Infertility is crushing to witness. I can't even imagine how hard it is to have to go through firsthand.
It is very difficult, but at the same time, gives you a whole new appreciation for the child(ren) you already have. I think having a child already makes it easier to go through the process, because no matter what hell you go through during the day with the doctor appointments, needles, blood and hormones, you can come home at night and give your DC a big hug and kiss 
This is totally true. We have been ttc#2 since DD was 8 months old. I have done 4 IUIs, 2 IVFs and starting IVF #3 next week. I never thought I would go through all of this but DD LOVES babies and other kids. It breaks my heart to see her want to be near all of her little friend's baby brothers and sisters all the time. She will be a wonderful big sister and that is the best gift I can ever give her. Plus I want another baby so badly. I did not ever imagine going through all of this but I look at my daugther and the love I have for her and I know every single thing I have done and am doing will be worth it.

Re: Spinoff of secondary infertility: if it did happen to you...
No definitely not. Although we have been blessed with a second child I would not have IVF for a second. DH had some issues and we didn't know if #2 was going to be possible. We agreed that if we only had our DD, that would have been enough of a gift. This is coming from someone who injected her BFF to get pregnant with all 3 of her kids. Infertility is heartbreaking and like everyone said you really don't know what you would do truly until you are in the position.

If you had a child without IF the first time around...why would you need it for the second time around? I really dont know what the answer is....
Does this really happen? I havent started TTC #2 so I havent thought much about it.
It is more common than most people know. Many women who have no problem conceiving their first child have problems with subsequent pregnancies. It's not wide spread-I don't want to panic people, but it's a common misconception that if you have no problem with your first, you won't have difficulties later on.
I never knew that.. thats a little scary

Re: Spinoff of secondary infertility: if it did happen to you...
We would do what we have to do. We had to do IUI to conceive Abby knowing that our issues were on the "low end" of the IF spectrum and we will have to do it again. However, for us, it was still difficult and heart wrenching every time I had to walk into NSUH knowing that I could not create a life the way we were "supposed to." The idea of having to start that process all over again - the temping, dropping off samples at 7am, blood work, etc is very overwhelming.
