But also, they don't really fit into the community, meaning there's a really robust infertility community and they support each other. And so many patients who have secondary infertility say they feel caught in between feeling guilty that their child's not enough for wanting more. Of course, they're thankful for their child, but not really fitting into that category yet also simultaneously feeling left behind their friend group or their family group or watching their family start to look differently. And so even in women who've had a prior child, age does become impactful. It's not the only variable. We also see that you know sperm counts change with age. So your partner sperm count will change with age. We see egg quality starts to change with age largely because metabolic health changes with age as well. And then we see things like endometriosis and adnomiiosis which are tincture of time diseases. It's simply you've had more time. So there's a higher probability that these dis diseases could be present.
