To think it won’t be hard to conceive?

Baby #3?

but I’m approaching that age where fertility starts it’s decline but I do have a high AMH.

our first were 7 months and first month so would it stand to reason that #3 would be the same?

my age worries me a bit but I spoke to my GP and they were quite dismissive of any concerns, and said if I’ve conceived 2 naturally there’s no reason to think a third would be challenging

I’m ttc#3. So far 2.5 years. Starting IVF next month. Totally fed up. #1 took 4 years , #2 first month trying and it’s looking like it’ll be a long journey for #3 (I have PCOS)

Wish you all the success in the world babe

See that’s the thing, I wanted to know if maybe I should look into any sort of tests, I had my amh done a while ago but I’m utterly clueless, because I don’t know if I’d pursue fertility treatments in the form of ivf for a third so wanted to know like what tests the gp would recommend (I’d pay private) but didn’t get a lot of success answer wise

Every mum I know (including me) wanted more childten than she was able to have, and had been tricked by our culture into believing that mid thirties is an easy yime to have kids.

My eggs worked fine at 31 and stopped working permanently at age 33. IVF didn’t help. I wish you better luck.

Well it will be easy until it isn't. No way of anyone knowing.

There’s no way of knowing for sure but like you i’d assume luck was on your side.

That's like asking how long is a piece of string. Good luck with it!

Honestly? You have absolutely no way of knowing. Secondly infertility is a real thing, but equally, you could get lucky first time- many do!
