Here's an interesting article in the NY Times about a very common & treatable but often overlooked reason for infertility

Thanks for sharing this. I just sent it to my nurse at Shady Grove to find out if I was tested for this condition.

I did too. Thanks for the information. Frustrating if they are not testing for this because I have some of the symptoms and when we first started there they said "perhaps PCOS." Sounds like the symptoms are very similar.

I talked to SHady Grove today and my RE said they don't test for it.

15:11 - That's weird! I asked my nurse at SG and was told I didn't fit the profile but they were happy to run the tests, and I got inthe mail two days later a lap slip for testing at Labcorp. The tests were listed under the PCOS and Anovulation section of the sheet - maybe you already had all of those tests and they don't identify CAH separately from PCOS? (I hadn't had the ones she checked off). I ended up finding out in the meantime that I am pregnant as a result of my last IUI, and so won't have the testing (I was told it won't impact a viable pregnancy), but if you feel strongly about it I would press them on it. God forbid something happens with this pregnancy or we decide to try at some point for #3, I will make sure to get tested.
