[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] To top it off, DH is totally unsupportive. [/quote]
Forgive me for focusing on something that might be painful, but this part seems important.

But first, I'm in 100 percent agreement with everyone else who has suggested that one failed Clomid cycle is nothing to worry about -- but that it would be a good idea to go to an RE again. Sometimes our bodies change and it's just good to make sure there's not anything going on that needs addressing before you take Clomid again. Clomid is not always the best choice in older women who ovulate regularly, because its main effect is to jumpstart ovulation. If you're already producing an egg monthly, then you may just be getting the potential bad effects of Clomid (like a thinned uterine lining) without much of the good.

Having said all that, if the doctors believe that a little more intervention is necessary, will your husband be on board with that? An IUI, for example, will require his active participation (the doctors would take his sperm, prepare it, and inject it directly into your uterus, hopefully making it easier for the sperm to find the egg -- that's the advantage)  Is he going to be on board with having to provide sperm samples? Would he support you if IVF is recommended?

I just wanted to suggest that before you go too far down the road of interventions, you and your husband get on the same page. And I wish you the very best of luck.[/quote]

I think DH will move ahead and do the things we need to do to have another child, but he is unsupportive in that he dismisses my feelings and says I am worrying for no reason, etc. [/quote]
