Intro- TTC #2

Hello everyone! I'm so glad I happened upon this board. I've been active on several other bump boards, but this one seems to be the best fit for me at the moment. I'm finding this journey to be so stressful and its nice to find a group of people who are facing similar challenges. I look forward to getting to know all of you!
Here's my story:
-I'm 36, DH is 38 (almost 39)
-We conceived DD#1 in Jan, 2012 after only 3 months of trying.
-We decided to start TTC #2 in March of 2013. After 5 months of TTC, we found out we were pregnant. Unfortunately, we lost that baby at 8 1/2 weeks.
-We took one month off after I had a D&C and have been trying ever since.
-We are just finishing our 8th month of trying after our loss. My temps dropped again this morning and I am sure AF will be starting in the next day or two. -My cycles are becoming more regular now- I struggled with really delayed ovulation for a few months after our loss.
-DH just had a semen analysis and we found that there are some issues with him (low in number/volume and slightly low in motility).
-I just met with RE last week and was told all my options. We are waiting to hear back from my insurance company to see if the HSG (I think that's what its called) is covered so I can have that done.
-DH has an appointment with the urologist at the end of August to see if we can do anything to help on that end.
-We are starting him on a Male Fertility Supplement that was recommended at the RE clinic. Hopefully that will help.
-We won't make any decisions about further treatment options until we have the answers from the urologist.
-I'm hopefully that we are able to make enough improvements on his end that we can avoid the other treatment options as we aren't sure we are in the financial position to do any of those.
Whew... Sorry that was a little long. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.
