drugs or no drugs???

Hi!
I'm new here.
My after ttc for about 6 mths my dh and i went to our docs and started 'investigating'. turns out he is azoospermic with little hope of success via icsi/ivf. we decided to go the donor route and IUI as the docs say i'm ''ok'.
after 4 cycles (used clomid on the last one) we were succesful and 9 months later our ds was born. hooray!!
we are now trying for #2 and we only have 6 tries. i've gone through 1 cycle with no luck and am not sure when i should start drugs and which ones. i'm afraid of twins (i'm 38, dh is 37), but really want another. for various reasons IVF really isn't on the table (although....i wonder maybe we shouldn't totally discount that as an option).

I would like to hear (read) your thoughts on treatment options and really just in need of a sounding board.

First hello and Welcome.

This decision is personal and not easy for any of us. Have you had more testing for yourself since DS? Given restraints on time and money it may be best to do a check up before going ahead with treatments.

If clomid worked for me in the past that would be my first step.
