[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was also given a diagnosis of unexplained infertility at 33 after the standard tests you mentioned.  We started with Clomid (I think 4 times) then did a few rounds of IUIs and then did a few rounds of IVF. My one piece of advice would be to move along faster to IVF. Give the less invasive treatments a try because they work for some people, but the success rates are actually fairly low, so don't keep trying them if they don't work immediately.  I feel like we wasted a lot of time before trying IVF and when we did I found out that I had almost no response to the drugs, which indicates POF.  The only way to diagnose POF is a poor response to IVF drugs. I did eventually have a baby using donor eggs, but if I had done IVF sooner, we would have known about the POF earlier, moved onto donor eggs immediately, and could have cut our IF journey by years. You are unlikely to have to go as far as donor eggs. I don't mean to scare you. Most people get a better result with other treatments. But, be aggressive with the process.  When you are fairly young, the doctors take an attitude that you have lots of time to keep trying low success, but less invasive, tactics.  But, that isn't always in your best interest. [/quote]
