Hate to post here, hate to see this board

(Sorry, I guess I should have posted this in the intro thread.)

and I hate 2ndIF.

My intro:  We had a surprise honeymoon baby.  We thought we were one and done, but when our son was 2, we decided we'd like another.  We have been trying for 7 years!  We have no IF coverage.  My husband had an SA that came back normal.  I had some basic boodwork done that came back normal. 

I'd still love a #2, but now I'm 37 and starting to think that it's irresponsible to keep trying...at least that our window is closing.

My son is 9.5 now.

I don't know how much I will post here, but I wanted to share that there is another 2nd IFer on the board.  I know that a lot of people don't know it exists or think it's only 2nd IF after needing help with the first one.  So, I'm just here saying sometimes you can get pregnant no problem the first time, have everything go perfectly, and then not be able to make another child (and I know that this board knows that, but a lot of people don't).  And it sucks.  It sucks for us and it really sucks for my son who is desperate for a sibling.

Wishing you all the best of luck.

Welcome, but sorry that you're here.

My sons are 13.5 years apart. I had my oldest when I was 25 years old, single and that pregnancy was unplanned. His father is not in his life at all. I had my second at 39 years old after 9 years of being married and in a much better financial situation as well as consciously wanting to get pregnant. We finally got pregnant using clomid, metformin, and ovulation kits because our insurance did not cover infertility.
I would love to have another baby but we are now in our 40's and the doctor wasn't very optimistic.
