Hi ladies! I just figured out what SIF is! So I thought I'd join you. I just turned 35 last month, and my hubby is 43. We have been ttc for 4 and half years, and together for almost 12. I also have a 16 yo daughter. Its crazy how hard it has been for us to get pg, considering I got knocked up out of nowhere at 17 years old. I guess I get to be a statistic on both ends of the spectrum. Teen mom then infertility when I'm actually ready and trying. We started seeing a fertlity dr last year, beginning with a consultation and then an SA. We were told my hubby has bad numbers, I don't remember what (I'm bad with numbers, lol). But very low count and not very good quality. He was put on Clomid to raise his testosterone level, and that seems to be working, numbers have come up and better quality, but still not ideal. January was our first round of Clomid for me and an IUI, with no success. I took another round of Clomid in February, but I ended up Oing about 5 days earlier than expected, and we weren't able to get a good enough sample to do an IUI, so we missed our opportunity. But we did BD a few times in the window, so I'm still hoping it happend the old fashioned way, with the help of the Clomid. I'm coming to the end of my TWW, should be starting anytime now. If I don't get a bfp this time, we are going to take a cycle off because hubby will be oot. But I'm definatly going to start asking some more questions. I just got back on these boards after a couple years of a break, and I'm learning from all of you guys!
