Intro

Hey Ladies!
Decided it's time to get some support. Here's my history.

Right after DH and I got married in 2011 we started trying to get pregnant - thinking of course it would take no time at all (so naive). A year later, we were still not pregnant.  Were sent to an RE and come to find out DH has low count/motility and we were immediately urged to do IVF. I was 26 at the time and had no health issues and was basically just in shock.  We went for a second opinion and luckily decided to go with an IUI instead.  We were very lucky to get pregnant our first try. Insert our amazing daughter who is almost 3.

When we got ready to try for #2, we thought we'd have the same glorious luck and get pregnant on our first IUI.  Well multiple failed IUIs says otherwise.  Dh's numbers have gotten worse from our first go round and new RE believes IVF is our only option.

Part of me is mad at myself - Like why Can't I just be happy with the one I have - a lot of people don't even get that. But another part of me will never forgive myself if we don't do everything we can to try for #2.

We are currently planning on IVF in April/May with a FET in June.  We are hoping that by some miracle DH's numbers increase enough in the meantime (repeat SA in march) to do an IUI instead - but it's a hail mary at this point.
