Newbie here! TTC at 40!

in TTC after 35
Hi there! New to the boards, but used the Knot years ago when I was getting married, so familiar with the forum terrain 
After 10 years of marriage, we are TTC at 40. My AMH is 1.07 which my RE says is awesome for someone my age, but DH has low sperm count (20 million) and low motility (30%). We just started with the RE a couple of weeks ago and were planning an IUI this cycle, but on CD 10 U/S i had lost my dominant follicle and only had two small ones. We were going to give it a few days to see if they grew enough by CD 14, my predicted O day, but I ended up Oing on CD 12 confirmed with LH surge CD 12 then raised BBT the next morning. I'm pretty clock work on my cycle, but my RE said she is considering me anovulatory since my follicles were immature at the time of O. I was looking forward to the IUI (which would have been today) so I'm pretty bummed we couldn't do it this cycle. I can't believe after just to weeks of doing all of this stuff (and learning SO MUCH about conception!!) that I am already this disappointed with not being able to do the IUI. I just assumed it would be wham bam here's your baby ma'am, although i know better than that.... One of my best friends had her daughter after her first iui several years ago and i was just assuming I'd be the same. Anywho - i guess i have four weeks to take my pre natals, eat right and obsess before we can hopefullly try the IUI. I will probably do a Clomid cycle even though I'm so early into the game just based on my age.
I haven't seen many 40+ gals on here, so if you are one, please check in!!

I will be 40 in a few short months.
Good luck with the IUI next month. Being active on the board will help pass the time.
