I'm 38 years old (turning 39 in May), married for almost 9 years and we have an adorable 16 month old boy. We went through unexplained infertility for a little over 2 years and went through 6 medicated IUIs (all BFNs) plus 2 IVFs with the first one resulting in a CP before conceiving our little boy who was born October 2016. I unfortunately had to have a c-section due to the doctors thinking he was a big baby but he turned out only being a little over 4 kg. Due to complications during the surgery, I was very strongly advised to wait 2 years before getting pregnant again so trying to stick as closely to that recommendation as possible. We're not sure if we can get pregnant naturally and have decided to not do IVF again due to the cost, both monetary and emotionally/physically
The state here in Denmark only offers free IVF tries for baby #1 so we would have to pay in full if we were going to do it. We don't have any frozen embies as our son was a top grade embie and our only other embie was severely fractured and discarded. The 2 embies from our first IVF weren't of good enough quality to be frozen. So we're doing NTNP and happy if we conceive ourselves and if not will just be extra happy about having our son
It'd be fun to have a girl if I do get pregnant but another boy would be fun in it's own way too so both genders are equally welcome.
Anyone else in a similar position or anyone else waiting to NTNP this Fall?

Here's hoping your journey is easier as well! I hope your pregnancy and birth were easy?
My pregnancy was otherwise fine until I started measuring big at around 36 weeks. Then they gave me a growth scan and thought my son was big. Turns out I had more amniotic fluid than they thought
Didn't have GD as they tested me after the scan
) but it says that after opening me, they discovered my uterus was rotated/twisted with very large blood vessel(s) (not sure if it's plural because of the way they're writing it). They tried to rotate in place but didn't succeed. I don't entirely understand the rest but it sounds like they did something to improve how my uterus is placed. It goes on to say my son's arm kept popping out and they had some problems getting him out. They succeeded but had to deliver him with his legs first.
