in TTC after 35
I've been pretty absent lately and feeling guilty about that. I'm thinking that for now, it's better for me not to be as active here. I'll still lurk and check in from time to time, but please know in my absence that I'm still rooting you all on.
I'm not sure where we stand. DH had a couple of fevers earlier this summer and we've recently learned that they impacted his sperm production (we had no idea this could happen- it can cause problems for 3+ months!). He's getting it checked out again in a week or so, but had another fever in early September so I don't know what that will mean. My cycle has been weird too, and my doctor thinks that once DH is sorted out, I should do a higher dose of clomid. So, it's looking like I probably won't be pregnant by my bday in Nov, which was my goal. I'm pretty low right now.
Please forgive my lack of participation. Welcome to all of the new people and good luck to all! And thank you for all of the support you've offered over the last few months.

I had no idea fevers impacted sperm production, and for so long. That's troubling, because when my DH's chronic illness gets bad, he gets fevers.
I hope we both have good luck in spite of our obstacles. And like Thistle said, we're here when you need us.
