in Trouble TTC a Sibling
Hi everyone. I'm hoping you will allow me to lurk and post here from time to time. I have a 26 month old whom we love and adore. It took us 2 years to conceive her. I found out I was pregnant when she was 18 months old after only a few months of trying but sadly miscarried. We were told to abstain for two months because of an infection in DHs semen and then told that was a mistake and we could try again. As we started to try again DH was diagnosed with cancer. The one month we were able to try resulted in a bfn. We froze sperm however have just been told we would need IVF to get pregnant. Financially and mentally I'm not sure we can do IVF. I've also been told I have low AMH for my age. I'm 33. The RE suggested I try treatments right away. My husband is done with treatments and will have a scan in 3 months to confirm remission. I'm not sure where to go from here as I can't imagine my life without another child. Being an only child the one thing I wanted for my DD is a sibling. I'm feeling that the world doesn't think I deserve to be a mother again and that's why the sequence of events that happened last year did between the miscarriage, being told to wait, then told that was a mistake then my DHs cancer. I cry multiple times a week. I'm sorry ladies I'm just looking for support or advice. It's hard to look at my little girl at times because I break down thinking that I may never be able to give her the sibling I so want her to have. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all as I try to get through this part of life.

    Hi there. I am very sorry to hear about your husband's cancer and your m/c. Has he gotten an opinion from a urologist and made sure there wasn't going on that could cause the MFI? What did your RE say as far as your chances with something less expensive, like maybe IUI?

    My DH had double varicocele surgery a year before we conceived our DD. Unfortunately the RE said we don't have enough spermatozoa for more than one IUI and also mentioned she thinks even that would probably be a waste. I'm going to get a second opinion. Not sure how much IVF costs but after my DH cancer we have extremely limited funds.
