just diagnosed with secondary IF

outofcntrl82

I was pregnant (although has a late loss).. Its been 8 cycles since and nothing. I went to the RE today (I am 35, MH is 36) and he thinks I have secondary IF. Scheduling me for an HSG in Jan. along with Clomid and possibly IUI.

It feels like it is very aggressive to do clomid and IUI- am I right or is this the usual?

For starters I am sorry for your loss and for your new diagnoses. 

It does seem aggressive.  For starters you don't even have a diagnoses why you have IF.  First they determined why I had IF (sometimes that is hard and they can't determine, but it is how docs like to start). Than they put me on Clomid (no IUI).  Everyone is different though!!!!  Some, due to diagnoses, go straight to IVF so it really depends. 

No matter what you choose GL!  Hope you are not here too long

I'm sorry for your loss.  I also had 2 m/c, which prompted me to start seeing an RE.  His first recommendation is Clomid and an IUI (although I did use Clomid to conceive my son)  I think starting with an IUI is very common with RE's.  Good luck to you!

It is aggressive but I'm guessing they want to be aggressive given your age.  Now, I don't think 35 is old but in terms of getting pregnant but the medical profession sees that as old and most REs will want to be aggressive instead of having you spends months and months trying things that are less likely to work.  You can always choose to forgo the IUI and perhaps just start with the clomid but you'd probably want to find out what your issues are first.  The hsg will check your tubes but is your husband having an analysis done or did your doctor discuss doing a clomid challenge test with you or any other tests?
