[quote=Anonymous]OP, LIVID here.  (If you don't know me, you can look up my story)  Anyway, here is what I would recommend before even going to an RE.  Go to your regular OB/Gyn and ask them for a prescription to get an HSG.  This is generally done as part of a fertility workup at the IVF clinics.  I had one done when I was 39 and got pregnant that month.  It is all anecdotal but there are many stories out there of women getting pregnant after an HSG.  We had been trying for about 6 months at that point.  If you look up my story you will see that my pregnancy ended for other reasons, (not age related genetic issues)  but the fact remains that I did get pregnant at 39.

Here is my other advice.  Start doing the OPK so that you know when exactly you are ovulating.  Read Taking Charge of your Fertility.  I would also recommend doing something to spice things up.  There is a very nice upscale sex toy store in Old Town called Lotus Bloom.  Go have a date night in Old Town and go shopping together.

I went through many rounds of IVF with my own eggs and donor eggs and none of it worked.  We got very lucky with the domestic adoption process and now have a toddler son who was born in 2017.  For the record, domestic adoptions do not have an age limit.  Some agencies might have age limits but there is no law in the US about how old is too old to adopt.  My husband and I were both older than your husband when we started the process in 2016 and it took about 16 months from starting the home study process to bringing our baby home.[/quote]
