Newbie Intro

Hello.  My DH and I have a beautiful daughter who just turned 4.  We've been TTC#2 on our own for about two years now, in the fall we are planning to try IUI for the first time.  I am 34 and DH is 35.  We had fertility testing done last year.  DH has slightly low motility, and I have low AMH levels, which could indicate low ovarian reserve.  Our RE was hopeful that we could still conceive naturally, but said we have about 4% chance each cycle.  I guess I am just looking for some support, encouragement, and maybe some useful advice if we start with IUI.

    Hi and welcome. I am in the planning stages for my first IVF cycle (skipping everything else) so I am not much help, but good luck.

    Kid #1 - 09/03/12
    Kid #2 - maybe???
    Diagnosed with Severe Ashermans 
    Hysteroscopy #10 - scar tissue grew back reblocking my right tube
    #11 or IVF with scarring still inside?
    1 lone embryo from September 2016 retreival, dx with Trisomy 16, starting fresh
