So I have a friend who is also having trouble getting pg

in TTC After a Loss

She told me that she went to her OB on Wednesday (a new one since she just moved back from England) and this OB told her that she has a 25% chance of getting pg in the next year because she was over the age of 27.  She is 30.  I have never heard of that.  I told her that I did not think that was true, but she explained that this OB had a ton of paperwork stating this. Has anyone else ever heard of this?  Or should I just think that this OB is on crack.

 

A little back history...  She and her H have been trying for over a year.  They have had 1 mc, and that was mid last year.  She has not started any medical intervention, such as Clomid.  And this OB is telling her that she has 6 months before the OB is going to require it.

    You do not have to say that twice.  I am 31, so along with the PCOS it would bite asssss.  I just can not see how it is true.  Women over the ripe old age of 27 have kids all the time.

    Sounds to me like a doctor that doesn't handle fertility/infertilty very often.

    I say jerk.

    I have read somewhere that 26 is the age our fertility starts declining, but I honestly can't remember where.  I just remember at the time I was 25 and nowhere near ready to start having kids yet.  Anyway, I have never, ever heard that you only have a 25% chance of getting pregnant over an entire year of trying after age 27.  That doesn't jive with most of the other stats I have read.

    I thought I was still concidered "young" for TTC, I just turned 27 and now I am hearing that I am OLD and my chances have already dropped?!?

    I sure as hell hope that Dr is on crack because that blows!

    I have read that you have a 20 to 25% chance of getting pregnant every month, not for the whole year. Do you think maybe that is what she meant, because that doesn't make since.
