[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe how entitled you all sound. The world doesn't owe you a baby, and everyone around you can't stop having babies just because you waited til 40 to start trying. Grow up.[/quote]

Not everybody here is 40...I'm 28 and started trying as soon as hubby gave me the ok. I never imagined myself here, especially since my period has always been regular. I thought it would just happen just like it does to everybody else...but nothing. [/quote]

PP, I am sorry you had to deal with IF at such an younger age. The poster you respodned too is clearly ignorant and had never been to an IF clinic. Just a quick scan in the waiting room, would show her that most patients are in their 20ies to early 30ies. I started at 34 and ended up in an IF clininc within months. The RE did nto take me seriously because I was not "old enough". Until he run few tests and discovered a medical condition that would have prevented pregnancy in my 20ies too.

I'm glad they were able to find the problem for you and that it was an easy fix.... We are unexplained. My RE even said "I don't see any reason you can't be pregnant in 6 months". I knew something was wrong after ttc 9 months and all my friends told me I "just needed a vacation". Well now after waiting the full year ttc plus 3 failed iuis, I kinda feel vindicated that something is indeed wrong but geez it'd be nice if we knew what.[/quote]

Unfortunately, the fix has not been easy. Since that first RE meeting, I have done 8 IVFs and have not seen a BFP. I am sorry your path has been difficult. You probably know that more likely than not, unexplained infertility is simply undiagnosed one. Have you checked for endo or immune issues?[/quote]

I have not been checked for either of those, but I've certainly read up on them. I think our problem is either a fertilization or implantation problem, leaning towards fertilization since I've never even detected a cp and my lining has always looked "beautiful". I really think the DH is the problem... He only has 4% morphology which is [i]technically[/i] normal, but something like 80% of his sperm had head defects, with only a small amount with midsection and tail defects. His motility has also been a little screwy on the last two IUI's. I can't help but wonder if all that points to a larger "issue" and maybe even his normal ones aren't competent/lacking something to get the job done. Probably a lot of denial with this but I just have a hard time accepting that I have bad eggs at my age, ya know? I always have such perfect looking follicles on my scans and my lining is beautiful too. How could everything look so great but nothing ever takes?? It's so frustrating! Unfortunately, because of my age, I have to go through 3 more IUI's before insurance will cover IVF (and it doesn't make sense to pay out of pocket to skip ahead) so we won't know much more until we get to that point. And maybe/hopefully I'm terribly wrong about my theory and the next IUI works![/quote]
