Trying one more time at age 42

Jennifer

I always swore I would only try iui once and if it didn't work then it wasn't meant to be. My wife and I decided to try two years ago at the same time we signed up to be foster parents. Our attempt at iui failed. That night I prayed for an answer to whether I was to have a son or not. (For some reason I always envisioned a son) the next day we got a call for a six month old baby boy and he was been with us ever since. We also have had a 19 year for two years as well so we have our family but now with a toddler of course we would love to give him a sibling. He would like a sister LOL his adoption will be finalized in the upcoming months. So we decided to jump back on the rollercoaster.

We both got tested. I have always wanted to carry, her, not so much but given that I am 42 and she is 36 we thought it best to test both of our levels.

My Dr while very sweet and kind delivered the statistical reality of conception to me at "my age" not great. 2-3%.

Regardless, my AHA count came back high with 3.65 while my younger wife's came back at .025. This was hard news for both of us to hear as it means she is basically infertile

We decided to move forward using my basket as she literally looked at me and said "well the eggs are literally all in your basket" LOL

IUI today at 12PM. Fingers crossed we can give our little man the sibling we all want.
