if first time TTC after 35 was easy, how is second time around?

in TTC after 35
Two years ago, we made the decision to TTC...at the time I was 36 going on 37. Within one month - pow. It was that easy (with some of those handy ovulation predictor things). We feel very fortunate that it was that easy and that we have such a healthy and happy LO; we know how challenging it could have been (or the fact that it is impossible for many). We count our lucky stars on a daily basis. Now that our LO is past a year, we're thinking of a second. For those of you who had an easy time the first time around, did you find that carried over to the second time around? I figure there are a range of experiences and we won't really know until we try again. Just curious, though. I probably need to hear that it isn't easy second time around from some as to not get my hopes up too high.

    I am going on 37 and have been trying for my first one for two years.  Egg quality etc doesn't get better, but you are right, the only way to know is to get working on it!  Good luck to you.

    got pg with my son on the first real try when i was 38.  

    it was a whole different story when we ttc #2, took ~2 years.  we eventually got lucky, but i thought my previous fertility was an indication that it wouldn't be hard a second time ... not so much.

    so ... good luck, but don't wait too long before seeking help this time around.
