at a loss

I have been with my husband for 16 years now. I am not able to get pregnant for some reason. I have had all kinds of test ran and I am fine. They said my husband has low sperm count but not sure if that test is accurate cause he could not hold out for 3 days and had gotten off the night before the test was done. I wiuld love to have a baby but with time slipping away it makes it harder. I am 35 and my husband is 41. So what do I do causw I am willing to take any adcice right now.  I am not covered by insurance yet but trying to get covered now. So plwase help me...I am desperate.

I also took Metformin ten years ago after trying for 7 years and now our son will be ten years old in two weeks.  And for the last nine years we have been trying again and been taking clumid and Metformin but it did not work. So we kind of gave up and started taking my birth control pills to help me regulate my period.
I get bad migraines and feel bloated all the time and a good friend of mine suggested to try changing my diet and stop eating gluten. I started my gluten free diet in January of this year and on March I decided to stop taking my birth control pills again to see what happens and I have to say I am glad to try the gluten free since I don't get migraines anymore nor feel bloated and we are very excited since our second baby will be delivered this Thursday!  Sometimes just finding the right diet or right level of sugar to get pregnant.
I wish you luck and that it will happen to you soon.

Sometimes u have to take ur and ur husbands fertility in ur own hands.  This is what I did to get pregnant after 3 cycles of trying because I was 35 at the time now 36, and didn't want to go months on end TTC.  I decided to use a fertility lubricant called Preseed to aid in the sperm getting to the egg, and I was going to have my husband take Fertilaid for men to help my husband's sperm count and motility.  I have done the research and read countless positive reviews with both products that I decided it couldn't hurt to use.  I'm happy to say that I used Preseed during my last fertile period and got pregnant.  I am now 31 wks and all looks good with baby.

Words of encouragement. ...After years of trying and 2 loses, the doctor told me I could never have children. So me and my husband decided to adopt. During the process I found out I was pregnant ( surprise) I now have a very entertaining teens ages 13 and 12. The week my yougest turned 12, I found out I was pregnant again. At 39 years old I was shocked! I'm 36 weeks and can't wait to meet our next miracle!  Doctor's don't know everything!  God is in control. Keep trusting it will happen when it's time!
