[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP It sounds like several things are going on at once. First obtain a copy of your records and get a second opinion. We looked at our records and they were incorrect -- it said DH had "no sperm" when actually he had good sperm (and 2 kids to show for it, now) Second if the results are really accurate go for DE asap. Perhaps you could do shared to lower the cost. You have a good chance of success with a previous pregnancy. If your results are accurate, there is absolutely no point in IVF with OE. Just a long expensive, heart breaking  journey. There is a chance that you could still get pregnant on your own as fertility goes through cycles. But catching that cycle for IVF has not been that successful.
Third, you might consider moving. We have people in our neighborhood who are empty nesters and have lived here 30+ years -- they are not going anywhere. If you have an only, the neighborhood with no kid is not for you. Parents do tend to follow the path of least resistance in choosing playdates and activities for their kids. And the oldest gets the most attention. It is a cliché but true. Herndon has a reputation for not the best schools (there are threads about this) so there may not be many young families moving in.
A lot to think about. GL.[/quote]

Cliff's notes of this thread: OP doesn't want to do any ART because of needles (hence the title of the thread), they don't want to move because of something else. She is not out of ideas, she doesn't want to do anything plus DH is not on board with any improvements in her life and apparently that's acceptable to her.[/quote]

Did OP profess a fear of needles? I think that was another post - on page 1 she said she's reluctant to do IVF because of little chance of success - seems valid. I think your synopsis is a little harsh, PP.[/quote]

I think this is the same poster.
