Hello ladies. We are also experiencing secondary infertility. We have a son that is 4 and he asks all the time if other kids can live with us. His way of saying that he wants siblings. I wish that I could tell him yes but all I can say is that we will try. My DH has zero spermcount after a surgery to remove cysts from his vas. We have no options open to us other than IVF for a biological child. We have failed at a fresh and a frozen cycle. The first fresh cycle with sperm retrieval and ICSI cost $18k with meds our FET cost $5 and this our last and final attempt is costing about $14 and that is with some donated meds. We pay out of pocket for everything because our insurance will not cover it. I'm only 28 but DH is 50, we can not adopt domestically because of his age unless we went with a private adoption which I think is very unlikely. I cherish our little boy but that doesn't make my desire for another child for him and for us any less.
Whatever all of our next steps are....I hope they are successful.
