Pregnant after IF

Hi! Stopping over from SAIF.

Hey everyone,
I've posted a few times, but have not formally introduced myself. I'm new here, but a regular on SAIF. I have a 19-month-old son, Cal, who was conceived using donor sperm. My husband has azoospermia, which is attributed to the chemo & radiation treatments he had as a child while battling cancer (Wilms Tumor). We knew going into it that he might have "issues" but were still shocked to find out after 6 months of TTC that he was completely infertile. 
I am now pregnant with #2, conceived using the same donor. I am 5w 3d, but not ready to put up a ticker quite yet. I am AMA (41) and there are a lot of risks with this pregnancy, so I'm a little nervous. I was 39 last time (40 at delivery), so no stranger to the risks, but now being OVER 40 makes the negative statistics even greater. I don't think I'm being a pessimist, just a realist!
I still consider SAIF my home, but will be jumping over here for pregnancy conversations!
Childhood cancer (DH) + chemo + radiation = 0 sperm.
LO #1 - 1 unmedicated/self-monitored IUI w/ donor sperm.
LO #2 - 1 m/c, 2 BFNs, 4th IUI worked (unmedicated/self-monitored with new donor sperm).
Life is beautiful!

Hmm...I never did a formal intro like this. Seems a little silly at this point...though maybe not.
Anyway, glad to see you over here, too!!!
