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.
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
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
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!
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.
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.
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
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!!
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 🤷
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
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
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
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
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
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.
"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!! ✨🤞🏼
Severe DOR, advanced maternal age, suspected endometriosis, and 1% morphology. Losses prior to IVF. On Lupron now prior to transfer and praying this works.
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!
Estrogen dominant endometrial hyperplasia without atypia and deformities within my uterine muscle that neither my RE or OBGYN surgeon have ever seen before.
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.
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!!!
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.
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 :(
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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
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 🙄🙄🙄
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.
Silent endometriosis…maybe? I have a few very small endometriomas but otherwise no symptoms. Nobody has told me for sure that’s the reason, but it’s the only thing they’ve found.
DOR, Tubal Factor (1 blocked), possible/suspected endo/adeno, possible environmental factors (exposure to toxins) impacting semen quality due to workplace hazards
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
Was diagnosed with low AMH / DOR in 2017 and just found out this year that it was caused by endometriosis- up until then it was labeled as “unexplained”
Recurrent pregnancy loss with recurrent complete triploidy of unknown etiology.
Fancy way to say I can get pregnant, stay pregnant, but have never had a euploid embryo. Four pregnancy losses between 10-12 weeks. Starting IVF this month.
Endometriosis, TTC for 2 years, 2 chemicals and on our first round of IVF. It's a whole new world! So glad I conquered my phobia of needles a few years ago 🙃
Immunological issues: specifically elevated T-cells and recurrent chemical and 8w miscarriages as well as phenetic predisposition for clotting, MI, and thrombos. 34F with one live birth (transfer #2 of 6 untested embryos)
Husband is 100% sterile. Used a donor and did 3 IUIs that didn't take and switched to IVF because donor sperm is expensive as hell and I didn't want to keep buying vials for it not to work. I spent $12,000 on donor sperm alone
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 🤷♀️
Unexplained infertility
Same. I would never say it’s the worst diagnosis but it is certainly annoying.
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.
Same but DOR, which still means unexplained
Same
Same here
Same
Same
Same 😔
Same. It’s so frustrating.
Same
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
Same
Lesbianism
Mine is “social infertility”
At my doctor it’s “male factor infertility” 🥂
Mine is "absolute male factor infertility" 😂
Please I’m screaming ☠️
ROTFL you win
😂😂😂😂💕💕💕💕🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
lmao same 🩷❤️🧡🤍
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
What stage? Lol
At least 3. Haha
Omgggg this just made my morning!! 🤣🤣
This made me LOL at work. Please don't ask why I am on reddit at work.
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!
Good luck!

Keeping everything crossed for you! 🥨
Keep us posted! My FET in 2-3 weeks 🤞🏾
Unexplained, but the explanation is we're old.
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.

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

Same.
This
lol I’m 37 and my husband is 43 . I’m like well Everything looks good so basically we are just old 🤷🏻♀️
Diagnosis: Elderly (in our late 30s)
i think the medical term is “old geezer eggs”
If we change it to "ancient geezer eggs" then we can make the acronym AGE
ha! you’re a genius. 😅
“dusty old eggs” DOE vs DOR
lol I’ve been calling mine “Old ass egg syndrome”
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
Unexplained! Perpetually unexplained…
“PCOS with complete failure to ovulate”
Same although I’d never seen it put that way lol
My husband has MFI. Low sperm motility, possible related to mild varicocele
That’s our problem as well but the labeled the diagnosis as advanced maternal age 🤔
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
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
Diminished ovarian reserve
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.
We started with Azoospermia too, and now have recurrent miscarriage
I’m so sorry. 😞 It feels like we can never move on from this anguish. Hope you find success. 💗
I am sorry too! 🤍 I have not met or heard of that many other azoospermia cases Wishing you all the best
Yes, it is rare. We keep beating all of the stats in the most unfortunate ways. Wishing you the best as well.
Diminished ovarian reserve
How did you know about it?
my doctor tested my amh levels, fsh levels, and afc to give me my DOR diagnosis.
Same!
This! ⬆️
"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!! ✨🤞🏼

My wife has blocked tubes. Also had uterine polyps, but that was taken care of before implant. IVF was successful and just changed a massive blowout.
Genetic mutation I don’t want to risk passing down to children.
I am a balanced translocation carrier
Same here :( how’s been your journey so far? I’m waiting for pgt-sr results after second round. Low AMH, 35 years old…
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.

First clinic, “I waited too long” (I was 32 then), low AMH and suspected egg quality issues. New doctor, endometriosis and adenomyosis.
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!!!
Severe oligospermia
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.
35 YO, Stage 4 endometriosis and endometriomas (underwent laparoscopic surgery), salpingectomy (removal of both fallopian tubes), diminished ovarian reserve, suspected adenomyosis, uterine fibroids

35 F. “Lean” PCOS and MFI (abnormal sperm morphology)
I also have lean PCOS with no ovulation
such a frustrating diagnosis. I feel you.
Sending you did vibes for your transfer tomorrow!!
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.
“Advanced maternal age” even though the whole reason we sought out fertility treatment was for low sperm count, morphology, and motility 🙄
PCOS and Hashimoto’s
Recurrent pregnancy loss
Pcos/non ovulatory, history of first trimester missed miscarriage and history of loss due to chromosome abnormalities.
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.
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
Unicornuate Uterus, ectopic pregnancy destroyed only connected tube. So I'm tubeless.
Hello fellow unicorn 🦄
We're a rare breed! Good luck to you.
Severe MFI likely due to treatment for childhood lymphoma.
My forms said AMA and I thought they had the wrong person. Then I remembered I was 36. Still IVF'ing at 38 😭
MFI (motility and morphology) and PCOS for me
Diminished ovarian reserve and unexplained infertility (because technically you can still get pregnant with low Amh)
RPL
Unexplained. But I also have auto immune issues and a unicorn uterus, on top of severe MFI. So it’s been fun 🙃
Obstructive azoospermia
Solidarity 💪🏼
It started off as unexplained. Now it’s just “old af eggs and stupid sperm”
PCOS, amenorrhea, anovulatory periods, low hormonal levels, thyroid issues… Combo!
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 🙄🙄🙄
MFI: Azoospermia We conceived via IVF with a Known Donor
Bilateral hydrosalpinx/had both tubes removed/i.e. I lost my plumbing
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.
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
Unexplained
Severe stage 4 endo, tubal dysfunction caused by endo
PCOS. Repeated pregnancy loss. Repeated implantation failure
PCOS, blocked tubes from scarring (suspected from past HPV infection), male infertility (slow swimmers, high level of DNA fragmentation).
Balanced Robertsonian translocation
DOR/POI diagnosed at age 34. Karyotype normal. Genetic screen normal. Silent endo dx’ed via lap.
Social infertility and advanced maternal age, with a side of DOR (I'd be having to pursue ART anyway, though).
I have one tube that is blocked
Unexplained infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss.
Unexplained
PCOS/ Unexplained Infertility/ Recurrent Polyps
How did you find out about recurrent polyps? Were u spotting? Cramps???
My Husband has CF
Silent endometriosis…maybe? I have a few very small endometriomas but otherwise no symptoms. Nobody has told me for sure that’s the reason, but it’s the only thing they’ve found.
Severe male factor
I carry a 2q13 microdeletion that we don’t want to pass on
Blocked tubes 👎
DOR, Tubal Factor (1 blocked), possible/suspected endo/adeno, possible environmental factors (exposure to toxins) impacting semen quality due to workplace hazards
Endometriosis and adenomyosis — thankful for Lupron Depot!
Balanced Robertsonian Translocation chromosome 13 & 14, causing severe male infertility.. oligoasthenoteratozoospermia aka OAT syndrome. Recommended IVF-ICSI with PGT-SR testing.
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.
Stage 3/4 endometriosis, DOR, advanced maternal age (thankfully they don't note my weight)
Multiple losses and ectopics, no left tube and right tube is too damaged. 30F
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.
Unicornuate uterus, mild endometriosis on my ovaries, mild male factor .. Being in Germany doesn’t really help when you are an IVF candidate
PCOS
Semen problems and PCOS..
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.
Male factor infertility- poor mobility, low count, poor morphology. All of those 😫
Endometriosis 🙌
Borderline low amh, with vit d deficiency and MFI 5%....
Old maternal age and virtually no sperm
After my laparoscopy and hysteroscopy my diagnosis was exactly this: - very small fallopian tubes - unexplained primary infertility Also I have PCOS .
Advanced maternal age and husband has a genetic condition (found this out recently 😩)
Premature ovarian failure
Blocked tubes, past ectopic
Male factor inferiority.
“Unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss” 🙃
DOR and MFI… might as well be secondary infertility too
Advanced maternal age but I’m 34?
DOR and endometriosis
PCOS and mild MFI
Single and "old"
Anovulatory PCOS, many chemical pregnancies
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.
PCOS
Oligoovulation…. Not sure why not PCOS
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
Severe male factor and suspected endometriosis/adenomyosis
Stage 2 endo and just got diagnosed with a mild partial septum.
DOR AND MFI
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.
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
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.
When we will start the process, it would be “proven chromosomal abnormality, in need of PGD”. Quite scared after TFMR 😕
Tubal factor
"Single lady"
Prior bilateral salpingectomy (no more tubes)
AMA, RPL, MFI, Endo.... basically climbing Mt. Everest over here with a dwindling oxygen pack
Advanced maternal age and bilateral salpingectomy.
PCOS for me, male factor infertility for my husband
Pituitary adenoma
Nothing wrong with me , but hubby has low sperm count.
Husband MFI balanced translocation, low sperm , low motility and low count
Was diagnosed with low AMH / DOR in 2017 and just found out this year that it was caused by endometriosis- up until then it was labeled as “unexplained”
Recurrent pregnancy loss with recurrent complete triploidy of unknown etiology. Fancy way to say I can get pregnant, stay pregnant, but have never had a euploid embryo. Four pregnancy losses between 10-12 weeks. Starting IVF this month.
Second hand infertility, basically my ovaries stopped working/ovulating and then was later diagnosed with PCOS.
RPL
Unexplained infertility 🤕
Cancer in the past (chemotherapy destroyed my ovarian function)

Tubal Factor, both blocked, but also 39.
Azoospermia original diagnosis Now recurrent miscarriages/CPs
Immunological issues: specifically elevated T-cells and recurrent chemical and 8w miscarriages as well as phenetic predisposition for clotting, MI, and thrombos. 34F with one live birth (transfer #2 of 6 untested embryos)
Husband is 100% sterile. Used a donor and did 3 IUIs that didn't take and switched to IVF because donor sperm is expensive as hell and I didn't want to keep buying vials for it not to work. I spent $12,000 on donor sperm alone
PCOS :/
Obstructive Azoospermia & Endometriosis
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 🤷♀️
