"Secondary infertility" is difficulty conceiving after already having conceived and carried a normal pregnancy. Apart from various medical conditions (e.g. hormonal), this may come as a result of age and stress felt to provide a sibling for their first child.

that we are secondary infertile we have never heard of this before so we are confused and a bit upset. We were also told that it is not i possible for us to have another baby so we just have to sit back relax and see what happen. I would like to hear from other people in the same situation, and if they have had any success it would be a great help to hear from anyone thank you in advance

I too suffer from secondary infertility. I have 2 children, but ever since they messed with my thyroid, I haven't been able to conceive again. Not sure why. Everything is unexplained. We've tried different things and so far no luck, but we keep on trying and we pray alot. It can be very frustrating. We are going on our 8th year of trying, I hope you have better results. Hang in there!

My husband and I have 'unexplained infertility' which, while obviously different from your case, was also very frustrating as there was nothing specific to fix! And then after having our first baby (IVF), we were told by lots of people 'just relax, now it's happened once it will happen naturally and easily again'. Well, three more rounds of IVF as well as acupuncture and chinese herbs...we are finally pregnant with our second and just ecstatic. I hate that it is so hard for you, but the good news is that there are so many options (all different levels of invasiveness and cost of course) that can help you along if you need it. So I am sure it will happen...LOL!

This whole this is so frustrating for so many of us going through infertility. This is a great site to get answers from real people. Have you gone to an RE?(reproductive endocrinologist). I Think you should exhaust all your resources before you through your hands up. Why did they tell you that "its not possible"? There is always HOPE don't give up.

I meant to say that they said it is not impossible to have another baby, but on the other hand we do not want to do ivf as it is too expensive, so we are trying some natural ways to have a baby like I am taking concieve well gold by blackmores and dh is taking zinc so we just have to see how that works out for us. We only have 2 years left to have a baby because we said that when I turn 40 and dh turns 50 we will stop as there is a ten year age difference between us. Just hoping it will happen for us all soon

Hi there. I am new to this community. I just want to say don't give up. And when you least expect it, it will happen. We had been trying for almost 6 yrs, after giving up. Got rid of all DD baby things. Then May this year I fell PG, unfortunately I miscarried in Sep at 21wks. But I have not given up. Like you we also said we would try until I was 40, just under 2 yrs left. And what will be will be. The more you worry about falling PG it just doesn't seem to happen. SO I do wish you good luck and hope something good happens soon for you.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
