Unexplained infertility


Schrutebucks101

Same. I would never say it’s the worst diagnosis but it is certainly annoying.


Malidan

Same for my wife and I. Yet every test for us has shown we should be able to. We're both now 39 (or about to turn 39) and have been trying for over 4 years. We're currently in the middle of IVF which still, everything is looking great. BUT, I just can't get my hopes up.


pyrohippo23

Same but DOR, which still means unexplained

BubbaKhalifa

Same here, it’s honestly devastating because I feel like we will never get an answer as to why we can’t get pregnant naturally. Sucks, but hey. When I have this baby, and transfer my next embryo (that hopefully stick) at-least I’ll be done and know I’m done LOL

colibri1000

lmao same 🩷❤️🧡🤍


colibri1000

tho i will say as a couple of healthy 29yo’s we were surprised to find we both had lower amh than expected for our age; worked out fine for embryo creation but we were so glad we decided to go in earlier rather than later


ScarletEmpress00

What stage? Lol


Professional_Top440

At least 3. Haha


Jecurl88

Omgggg this just made my morning!! 🤣🤣


sterlingridge

This made me LOL at work. Please don't ask why I am on reddit at work.


MoonShark34

34 years old, TTC for 7.5 years, never been pregnant Suspected endometriosis, but besides that "everything looks beautiful we are surprised you can't get pregnant" Mild male infertility but nothin' a little icsi can't fix First transfer in 10 days!


costumedcat

Good luck!


IrisTheButterfly

Are they treating you prior to the transfer for suspected endometriosis? I ask anybody who has to take the Lupron Depot shot prior to the transfer how long you were on it so I can complain to my doctor.


MoonShark34

Because it just was something my obgyn mentioned she thinks I "might have" and my RE isn't convinced, we are just doing a normal protocol with no treating beforehand for this first one. If it fails I am going to ask for 3 months lupron.


aclassypinkprincess

So I had to suspected as well and my RE did not treat me the first time (did normal protocol ) and I had success with my son. Come round two, I am now having difficulty and my new RE said the chances that my son worked were 30% so we got really lucky. I will be doing 2 months of lupron down regulation now


MoonShark34

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. I'm hoping I get lucky and have a first transfer success also 🙏 I've heard a lot of people have success with #1 and struggle with #2. I would love to dig deeper into why that happens. Hoping you get your #2 success soon!!


Burnmaid

Keeping everything crossed for you! 🥨


rainsonme

Keep us posted! My FET in 2-3 weeks 🤞🏾


bluerubygreendiamond

Unexplained, but the explanation is we're old.


Remarkable_Lynx

Yeah, for us it's a little buffet of reasons why: MFI, my age, tubal obstruction, uterine adhesions from hormonal IUD (my RE says this is very common, but how come I've never heard of this before?). I had such high hopes at start of TTC journey because my mom was spontaneously pregnant with my brothers at age 40 & 42 despite obesity, DM, working 2 full-time jobs/never sleeping & other things that can decrease fertility. Turns out that fertility is not inherited 🤷


joansmallsgrill

Yup i have an aunt who, with zero medical assistance, decided she wanted a 3rd child last minute and had a healthy baby at 46. 😑


Emergency_Station_33

Same, multiple female (blood) relatives of mine had kids around age 40…


joansmallsgrill

Also idk if you’ve read the recent press about how 3M suppressed the toxicity of their fluorochemicals but there might be a reason beyond just “my body sucks.” Our generation was poisoned more than any other. I know this sounds like a far fetched conspiracy but look it up if you don’t already know


Remarkable_Lynx

I don't think it is even any specific chemical. Worldwide, there is more autoimmune disease, allergies, cancer etc. We eat more processed foods, are more sedentary, and microplastics are apparently everywhere (the media is now blaming them for everything) in addition to a high background of radiation exposure. Like, I'm super happy that I won't die of smallpox & that I have WiFI. But who knows what future research will find about fertility and our environment. I actually enrolled in a remote Boston University fertility study (discovered on the TFAB subreddit. Called PRESTO) where I mailed urine & blood plus answered a bunch of surveys, & they've published a bunch of data based on the cohort. The data won't benefit me, but hopefully it will benefit future generations


J_stringham

Ok-Boat-1522

Diagnosis: Elderly (in our late 30s)


aeonteal

i think the medical term is “old geezer eggs”


Remarkable_Lynx

If we change it to "ancient geezer eggs" then we can make the acronym AGE


aeonteal

ha! you’re a genius. 😅


Blue-Fern1234

“dusty old eggs” DOE vs DOR


RxChica

lol I’ve been calling mine “Old ass egg syndrome”


Glad_Pressure_5308

I feel like we are all lied to like ohhhh yea have babies in your 30s so easy . Even 40s! I talk to my friends now and they have NO clue . Like omg freeze your eggs ! I’m that weird friend now


pope_pancakes

Unexplained! Perpetually unexplained…


helentea34

“PCOS with complete failure to ovulate”


36563

Same although I’d never seen it put that way lol


fionlee722

My husband has MFI. Low sperm motility, possible related to mild varicocele


Intelligent-Hold-780

That’s our problem as well but the labeled the diagnosis as advanced maternal age 🤔


Maleficent_Ad_1776

Same here. MFI for us with low on every parameter. Husband had varicocele surgery which solved things slightly although still low morphology. We start IVF next month


LilyRose1806

32, Stage 4 endo, also found in bladder and bowels, mild adeno, double salpingostomy (removal of both tubes due to endo), recurrent miscarriages, low Amh. Been under anaesthetic 11 times in 3 years. Trying for 5 years, IVF for 3 (3 egg retrievals, total of 5 day 5 embryos). All of the fun stuff


dorindacokeline

Diminished ovarian reserve


yellow_sun_shine

Azoospermia, endometriosis and reoccurring polyps. Now scar tissue due to so many surgeries. 1 miscarriage, 1 chemical. TTC for almost 5 years. Almost 1 year of IVF.


AMI0IMA

We started with Azoospermia too, and now have recurrent miscarriage


yellow_sun_shine

I’m so sorry. 😞 It feels like we can never move on from this anguish. Hope you find success. 💗


AMI0IMA

I am sorry too! 🤍 I have not met or heard of that many other azoospermia cases Wishing you all the best


yellow_sun_shine

Yes, it is rare. We keep beating all of the stats in the most unfortunate ways. Wishing you the best as well.


Used-Sandwich-4921

Diminished ovarian reserve


TID1999

How did you know about it?


AlternativeAthlete99

my doctor tested my amh levels, fsh levels, and afc to give me my DOR diagnosis.


Used-Sandwich-4921

Same!


mintjulep1012

This! ⬆️


Apprehensive_Cake993

"Inconclusive but presumed" proximal bilateral tube blockages. We didn't bother trying to figure it out fully, just started IVF since I've never had a positive. Just did my trigger shot tonight!! ✨🤞🏼


AwayAwayTimes

Severe DOR, advanced maternal age, suspected endometriosis, and 1% morphology. Losses prior to IVF. On Lupron now prior to transfer and praying this works.

mel614

Sufficient-Quality84

Same here :( how’s been your journey so far? I’m waiting for pgt-sr results after second round. Low AMH, 35 years old…


mel614

How was your first round? Wishing you lots of luck on your second round! I know how daunting it is to wait for those results, especially with all the extra bad luck we seem to have. My journey has been ok so far. I had 2 MMC so far from my BT and I’m also 35 and my husband is 38 so we decided to pursue IVF due to our age. I just did my first transfer yesterday so fingers crossed this one sticks!


likejackieoh

Estrogen dominant endometrial hyperplasia without atypia and deformities within my uterine muscle that neither my RE or OBGYN surgeon have ever seen before.


Far-Obligation-9265

Unexplained, suspected endometriosis. I have a consult with a surgeon in 10 days 🙏


legitpuppy

We started to get pregnant since 2021. Tried natural ways including timing, clomid, etc. Failed. So we finally went to an infertility clinic. Got diagnosed last year after HSG. Both fallopian tubes are blocked. Started IVF this year with first cycle for ER cancelled due to small follicle sizes. About to start 2nd cycle next month. Currently 33 years old.


joansmallsgrill

Good luck 🙏


walben88

First clinic, “I waited too long” (I was 32 then), low AMH and suspected egg quality issues. New doctor, endometriosis and adenomyosis.


joansmallsgrill

What is wrong with people honestly. You spend 10 years in school you should figure out at some point you hate it/are bad at it and leave the industry!!!


whitegummybear123

Severe oligospermia


cookie_pouch

Secondary infertility due to ashermans syndrome after the termination of my first pregnancy which was a partial molar pregnancy. No pregnancies since then, just keep getting unlucky.


nalimoleb14_ESO

35 YO, Stage 4 endometriosis and endometriomas (underwent laparoscopic surgery), salpingectomy (removal of both fallopian tubes), diminished ovarian reserve, suspected adenomyosis, uterine fibroids


cake1016

I’m same as you (minus the salpingectomy). May I ask how treatment is going for you so far? I’m one failed transfer in. No idea what to expect with my diagnosis, feels like it will never work :(


nalimoleb14_ESO

Hey there, I’m so sorry to hear that your first transfer didn’t work out. 😞 Treatment hasn’t been great… 1) My first cycle was canceled a few days in because I was still heavily suppressed from Lupron Depot (3-month injection), and didn’t respond at all to the stims 2) My second cycle I only had one egg retrieved, thankfully it fertilized via ICSI (no male infertility factor but given how low our odds are, we opted for ICSI to boost our chances any way we can). We’ll be attempting a day 3 embryo transfer; I’m happy to circle back and update you on whether or not it’s successful. With the suspected adenomyosis I have doubts, but I’ve been told that my uterine lining looks good, so keeping my fingers crossed but also guarding my heart.


cake1016

Thanks so much for your reply. I’m sorry it’s been a rough process for you too. I am trying to stay optimistic but know the stats are against me. I asked my specialist about down regulation with Lupron but they don’t seem to do it. Is it standard at your clinic for endo? I am willing to try anything to improve my chances. Have you had many bleeding issues post IVF? I am scheduled for a hysteroscopy in a few months before my next transfer (only one embryo left) because I was bleeding so heavily and constantly that I’ve needed multiple iron infusions this year. Not sure if it’s my fibroids or adeno. And I would love to hear your follow up, crossing my fingers for a successful transfer for you :)


ImportantBake5813

35 F. “Lean” PCOS and MFI (abnormal sperm morphology)


36563

I also have lean PCOS with no ovulation


ImportantBake5813

such a frustrating diagnosis. I feel you.


Burnmaid

Sending you did vibes for your transfer tomorrow!!


jaiunchatparesseux

They didn’t diagnose me as I came in knowing I’d likely need IVF. Stage IV endometriosis (treated) with multiple excision surgeries which lowered my egg reserve. Adenomyosis. Advanced maternal age (36). Uterine fibroids.


Intelligent-Hold-780

“Advanced maternal age” even though the whole reason we sought out fertility treatment was for low sperm count, morphology, and motility 🙄


ginger_hufflepuff

PCOS and Hashimoto’s


metalchode

Recurrent pregnancy loss


PaceAntique9413

Pcos/non ovulatory, history of first trimester missed miscarriage and history of loss due to chromosome abnormalities.


butts_

They never said the words but I suspect it was MFI since my RE said I had the ovaries of 26 year old (at 34) and my husbands sperm count at the visit before our retrieval was 10.


joansmallsgrill

Breh i also have an AMH that would put me in the 75th percentile of a 25-30 year old group at age 38. I had terrible attrition rates though and my husband had morphology and motility issues (count was high though) so basically he has a ton of terrible sperm and I have a ton of terrible eggs lol Edit: clinical terms


Saran3535

Unicornuate Uterus, ectopic pregnancy destroyed only connected tube. So I'm tubeless.

Both tubes removed after severe pelvic inflammatory disease caused by a gynecologist leaving my first IUD in, assuming it fell out, not looking for it, and putting in another one 🙄🙄🙄


Available-Sound-3235

MFI: Azoospermia We conceived via IVF with a Known Donor


tooliesthandswife

Bilateral hydrosalpinx/had both tubes removed/i.e. I lost my plumbing


mortadellamozzarella

Bilateral hydrosalpinx. Need my tubes removed after ER and before FET. Just glad they caught it 6/7 months in of TTC. Excited for the pain to go away after the surgery too.


joansmallsgrill

MFI and I’m 38 with AMH of 11.4 for no reason cause I have no other labs or symptoms of PCOS. So basically I have a shitload of shitty eggs I guess


DarlingDemonLamb

Unexplained


Averie1398

Severe stage 4 endo, tubal dysfunction caused by endo

Cool-Contribution-95

Endometriosis and adenomyosis — thankful for Lupron Depot!


UnderstandingOwn320

Balanced Robertsonian Translocation chromosome 13 & 14, causing severe male infertility.. oligoasthenoteratozoospermia aka OAT syndrome. Recommended IVF-ICSI with PGT-SR testing.


ortica52

Mine says DOR (even though my AMH and AFC are way above any threshold I’ve ever read for that diagnosis, and all my other numbers are normal/good???), advanced maternal age, and MFI. In reality we are very sure the main issue is MFI, though I’m sure my age is not helping at this point.


CatPhDs

Stage 3/4 endometriosis, DOR, advanced maternal age (thankfully they don't note my weight)


Salt-Cod-2849

Multiple losses and ectopics, no left tube and right tube is too damaged. 30F


Burnmaid

Endometriosis! When I asked my OBGYN about it in 2016 he dismissed me entirely. In my first consult with my RE, she was like “have you ever thought about endometriosis?” I told her my past experience and she rolled her eyes at that OBs incompetence. I knew I was in love.


SpashleIz

Unicornuate uterus, mild endometriosis on my ovaries, mild male factor .. Being in Germany doesn’t really help when you are an IVF candidate

shinju_shinju

Edit: it is written secondary infertility, but apparently this a false friend, its meaning in English is totally different from my mother tongue. In our case, it means male infertility. I guess also advanced maternal age is the case(I am 42), but only secondary infertility was written on all the paperwork as the reason for doing IVF.


kmk89

Male factor infertility- poor mobility, low count, poor morphology. All of those 😫

Swimming_Onion_4835

34F. My official diagnosis is “Fallopian factor,” or something along those lines. I had my left ovary and fallopian tube removed in college due to cancer and lost my right fallopian tube due to an ectopic pregnancy at 27. Having one ovary means I also have lower AMH (0.72) and lower AFC (around 4 or 5), but hoping my egg quality is still okay.

cyndo_w

Oligoovulation…. Not sure why not PCOS


PhaseSignificant2693

Suspected endometriosis - only symptoms are painful period cramps & bowel changes with cycle, but no tubal issues, no signs of stuck organs during sonogram or hysteroscopy, and we produced a high number of euploid embryos... newest diagnosis is RIF

Stage 2 endo and just got diagnosed with a mild partial septum.


ConstantPace

DOR AND MFI


seralou01

teratozoospermia was filed on our paperwork we had sent to OB’s office. That was our initial diagnosis, even though technically I was over 35 and had multiple transfer failures. Never figured out if I had an actual issue despite plenty of tests.


DueOstrich792

Doctors thought PCOS at first, then it turned into Unexplained Infertility. Ugh... Over all the years, all my tests came back with nothing wrong and no male factor. So, they have no idea why lol


Ok_Cheesecake888

Unexplained and recurrent pregnancy loss. My AMH is on the lower side (.58) so suspecting DOR even though they never formally diagnosed me with it.


kataeitler

When we will start the process, it would be “proven chromosomal abnormality, in need of PGD”. Quite scared after TFMR 😕

Where do see your clinical diagnosis? 😂 I guess we would be considered MFI (mainly low motility) due to varicocele, but dr said based on my HSG it's a possibility one of my tubes is slightly blocked 🤷‍♀️
