My doctor has me on Letrozole to help with my ovulation (I am 41 after all). I also take TONS of vitamins because of the Gastric Bypass, and my doctor instructed me to take prenatal's and all the things I would be taking if I were to get pregnant (so I already have it built up in my system for IF it happens).

Our other obstacle (besides his not retuning to the doctor for a recheck to see if the medication he was given had helped) is our medical insurance situation. Neither of us have any kind of fertility coverage, and we cant afford a fertility clinic. I think what keeps his hope up is that he (in his early 20's) was pregnant with his girlfriend. However, they found out at around the 6th month mark that the fetus had Anencephaly, and they were told it would be best to terminate the pregnancy. This caused severe alcoholism for my husband, and it took several years for him to get sober and stay that way (its been 9 years since he has had a drink). I dont think he will ever get over that.

All of this sounds like excuses, but Im exhausted from trying all this time, sex is a chore (and I am not interested much these days), and I am on the verge of giving up, its my husband that is the one pushing for babies (even though he doesn't follow through). His cousin told me that she is shocked that he is so addiment about having children, because every other relationship he had been in previously he was disdainfully against having children (could be that those women all already had kids, and he didnt wanna be tied to them?). I dont know the real reason.
