I can't answer for what statistics do or don't say, but for me, it was quite the opposite. My first was ans "oops, we goofed the BCPs", this one (due in November) was almost 2 years of trying. Depending on what caused you fertility problems in the first place, I would expect ttc #2 (trying to concieve) will be just as physically difficult, though I have heard that emotionally, 2nd time dealing with IF is not as bad becuase you understand more about what's happening.
If you are Christian, there is a support site for Christian women that are or have experinced infertility. It is called Hannah's Prayer ( www.hannahsprayer.org ) It is the only thing that has made this past year bareable.
