in TTC after 35

Hello everyone... I'm new the to boards and TTC. I'll be 37 next month and my husband is 39. He had a daughter from a previous marriage.

 We saw the infertility specialists a few weeks ago and I just started the OPK. Hubby goes on Monday to give a sample for an analysis. I got a ton of bloodwork done and hormone levels were ok. I go on the 26th for bloodwork to see if I've ovulated.

 We haven't been nuts about TTC but this month we really started to pay attention to my ovulation. The sticks indicated I was about to so we got to work.

We're fortunate in that this insurance is really good so it covers IUI and IVF. The only thing is doesn't cover is egg freezing? I guess I have a lot of homework to do.

 I just wanted to introduce myself and my situation.

    Welcome!   You're lucky you have good insurance- that's awesome. I don't think any insurance covers embryo freezing.  But if they cover everything else, it's a minor expense comparatively ;)  Best of luck!!!

    According to my insurance, because of my age, I only had to wait 6 months. My husband's insurance had really rich benefits. It's ironic because I work for an insurance company and my insurance, before I married him, were AWFUL!

    Welcome!  I'm 37 as well (although it feels like 38 is right around the corner!)  That's wonderful that your insurance covers infertility treatment- hopefully you won't need very much!
