Hi,
I've been lurking around the bump for awhile now and decided today to introduce myself and start participating.
My DH and I have been married 19 years and have a 2 DS's. DS1 is 16yo and for a long while we thought we wanted to be one and done, but around 2009 we decided we wanted another child. In 2012 when we still weren't pregnant we decided to see an RE, because of age (39 at the time) we decided to go straight to IVF. We did 2 IVF and one FET and didn't achieve pregnancy. We decided not to do another own egg IVF and decided to we needed to think about donor eggs.
While debating about donor eggs, my PCP asked if I wanted to try clomid, I said what the heck it can't hurt anything because I was already not getting pregnant, So she rx'd 3 courses of clomid and with the third course I became pregnant. I was (still am 41) when my DS2 was born, he's now 3 months old.
My DH and I would love a 3rd child but have decided to not use medical interventions, so we are kind of not trying not preventing mode...well preventing as much as you believe in breastfeeding as birth control.
Anyway....sorry to be so long, hope you all don't mind me here I'd love to be here to provide support and bounce ideas and questions off each other if you'll have me. Thanks
I'm new to all this forum stuff, on my iPad it shows paragraphs but there aren't there after it posts...sorry
