News you can use....

Not really! This "news" has got to be the most worthless research I've run across in a long while.
According to a study, the longer it takes you to get pregnant, the less likely you will be to have a successful outcome.
Oh really? Gee, it never occurred to me how the physiology of infertility might affect the whole goddamn process from conception to loss/birth. Hmmmm, let's review.
Something is wrong with you.
Your girly parts just aren't working quite right.
Pregnancy is not something you can easily achieve.
Why is that?
SOMETHING IS WRONG.
If the basic ability to get pregnant is difficult, doesn't it stand to reason that maintaining that pregnancy might also be wrought with problems as well? I'm not saying that everyone will endure heartache, but, let's face it. If you drive a lemon, you're going to owe your mechanic a shitload of money.
The basic message my jaded brain gleaned from this article is thus:
The longer it takes you to learn how to do something right, the more mistakes you are going to have the opportunity to make along the way.
Well, DUH.

I cannot believe these people get paid to speak utter shite like that. Give me a grant of a few grand and I will come up with something equally useless but be far more appreciative of the moula than they are!

Oh Jill...they ARE appreciative of the money. They spend it and give you NOTHING useful in return. What better scam could there be? If they actually USED the money to do some god damned RESEARCH, then they might have to actually WORK. This way...cakewalk...and they get published and pat themselves on the back without breaking a sweat.

that's a crock of shit. My stats were pretty much the same as Laura's (took a little longer the second time) and I certainly had no success.

Ugh.
