in Trouble TTC
Hi, I'm new here and would love some support! Some days I feel like TTC takes over my life- it's all I can think about. I am 36, DH is 39; we have a beautiful little girl born 07/11. It took us 8 months to get pregnant that go around, but no major (known) problems and no infertility treatments needed. Fast forward 2 years and we are 10 months in to TTC #2. I am not ovulating on my own, therefor have super long cycles. I just saw an RE and completed more bloodwork; bloodwork and SA for DH; and I'll get an HSG after I get my period again. DH's SA came back today; 'fantastic' results on all areas except morphology at 3%. The nurse seemed hopeful, but I'm not sure how much to read into that? Once I get my period again (on my own or Provera), we are going the clomid route. Hopefully that's all my body needs?! Not sure if we'll try TI or IUI? The very frustrating part of all of this is that my husband keeps changing his mind: No- he doesn't want another baby or Yes, he's just going along with it because it is what I want. I feel like I have a small window of opportunity before he changes his mind for good (which seems to be narrowing in around his 40th birthday) if clomid doesn't work, I might be able to convince him to try IUI, but we have agreed we are not going to IVF. Excited, trying to be positive with our plan of action! But too scared to think about how I will feel if we cannot have another baby... Thanks! Feels better just to get that off my chest!

    Sorry for the mistake; posters on the Secondary Infertility board seem to be in later stages of advanced treatment, so I thought I had more in common with posters on this board.
