Open Infertility, Secondary

After the birth of my son at seventeen, I decided it was best to wait until marriage to even think about having another child. Well my husband and I have been trying for four and a half years to have another baby. He has never sired a child. I want four total, but at this point if God grants me one, I think I would be satisfied.
