loving these posts - thank you so much for starting this thread and for so many responses! I'm 38, 39 in Dec and we're on cycle 8. We just had our tests done - my blood work and HSG and his SA - and all of my stuff came back fine, his was 'fair' so we have another test for him in 3 weeks. I was just filling out the paperwork for our first appt with the RE, scheduled for 9/18, and something stopped me. I feel like we should continue to try naturally for the next few months and maybe then go to an RE. Yes, I'm 'getting old' but if all things are looking mostly great, then I'm hesitant to introduce the manual process into things.
anyone else kinda do an about-face on what they originally thought were the best plans but then it worked out?
sigh...2dpo today so we'll see at the end of next week if this is it!
