Conception nightmare

Hello.
Apologies if this is too specific or too much info - but I need somewhere to vent to.
I need a bit of advice...
I'm 40.
I'm married to an airline pilot. (which currently means nothing, as he's home all the time!)
I had a laparoscapy for stage 4 endometriosis last July. The surgeon managed to clear as much as he could - but he removed my left fallopian tube and said the right ovary had cysts all over it.
I desperately want a baby.
I've taken clomid this month, which made me a crazy person for a week.
I'm about to hit ovulation... but my husband is understandably very low, as he doesn't know if he's about to be made redundant.
I currently don't work, so without his income, we'd lose the house, car, life that we've both worked so hard towards.
I want to try and have sex as much as possible - given I took clomid - but I don't feel like I can 'force' him when he's so low and so despondent.
Not sure what to do...
Any advice?
Big thanks :)

Have you both had an open and honest discussion with one another about this?

Maybe you can both work through some sort of worst-case scenario back-up plan regarding finances - if you think of something workable then that may ease his mind?

I can imagine it's really frustrating for you.

If you do manage to get pregnant this month, then you still have 9 months to plan finances before the baby arrives. I'd do it if I were in your shoes!
