Interesting thread. We have been trying for 6 months plus with a m/c for our second. Our first was a surprise so we weren't expecting it to take so long to TTC our second. I still don't consider us anywhere near the IF level though. I do know my mom and my best friend had to use clomid for their second.

We had primary infertility as we needed IVF to conceive our first. I'm assuming we will have secondary infertility as well but that's out of my hands at the moment.

We had primary infertility, and also need treatments to help conceive our second.

Had primary and currently dealing with secondary. We will see if I do end up getting pregnant without any help.

Technically secondary infertility is when you have conceived your first without any medical interventions but cannot conceive your second. So if you have primary infertility, it is still primary infertility when you try to conceive again. Just thought I would clear that up.
From the Resolve website:
Secondary Infertility
Definition
Secondary infertility is defined as the inability to become pregnant, or to carry a pregnancy to term, following the birth of one or more biological children. The birth of the first child does not involve any assisted reproductive technologies or fertility medications.

@KT326: Oh, thanks! Didn't know that. Good to know.
So what's the name for having IF for, at least, two children?

I dealt with primary infertility, we will start TTC in the late summer/early fall for LO #2, and we will see how that goes.
