DH's SA results are in

heathergirl67

And he's above average.  This is good.

And I ovulate like clockwork.  This is good.

And I have a steady 13-day LP.  This is good.

And I'm only 25 and DH is only 31.  This is good.

And we both are willing to do whatever whenever as far as FWP.  This is good.

And my uterine lining toward the last 1/4 of my cycle is thick.  This is good.

And I'm on my 16th cycle since my loss. 

Everything is right, right?  So why isn't this working?

I wish I had an answer for you.  It does look like everything is perfect.  Do you have any growths or anything in your uterus that could be causing a problem?  Fibroids, polyps?

bbhalphen

That's so puzzling!  I'm glad everything looks good, but I know you want answers! 

JuJuBe3

It's good that all is good, but yeah, what's up?  Does your doctor have any ideas?

jen629

I am glad everything is good as far as tests...I wish we could all answer why this just doesn't happen

LMichelleG

That all sounds good! Friggin' sucks that you're dealing with this. No clotting disorders or progesterone deficiencies? Have you been tested for either? (sigh) If only we could have really clear answers to these things. ((((HUGS)))

heathergirl67

Nope, no cysts or fibroids.  I don't think I've been tested for any clotting disorders.  I haven't had my progesterone tested, either.  I think I just assumed that I was fine since I have a decent LP, I don't spot before AF, and I have good uterine lining.  I will ask my doctor about clotting issues.  He's had no ideas so far.  DH has been reticent to see a specialist because it's so pricey and he's sure "we're fine."  We agreed that I could pursue it, but I had to take things one cycle at a time.  So for this cycle we did the SA.  For the next cycle I'll do a WTF appt with the OB.  And the cycle after that I'll do an appointment with the RE.

As frustrating as this is, it's also good news. I believe you will get pregnant again.

ugh, i'm sorry.  hugs, hugs, hugs.

I almost wanted something to be wrong with my RPL testing so I had something to fix, so I get what you are saying.  I have to tell myself all of the time, it is good that there isn't anything majorly wrong.  I'm guessing you are like me and you just want something to fix. 

I think this is great news and you will be pregnant again!

You're not doing enough crack cocaine, you're married and employed, and you're not going to prom, honey.  THAT's what's wrong.

Okay, seriously though, this is going to sound weird - but have you done any rounds of antibiotics over the past 16 months?  Some docs will give a 2 week run of a broad spectrum antibiotic to both the man and woman with the thought that perhaps something pesky and minor is running around there.

What else. . . you might get into immunological issues, but those are generally present, I think, in habitual miscarriages not lack of conception. I wish I had an easy solution for you but I honestly am just as perplexed as you.

Do you think it could be related to the wicked cramping you had?  Maybe?  Is that better now?  (That was you, right?  Or am I insane?  You haven't talked about it lately so I assumed it was gone).

uuuggghhh so frustrating! Even when all is right it's not!   But just think that you have a lot going for you..something's gotta give sometime! (that's my hope anyway)

KristysRedBarn

I'm sorry.  That has to be so frustrating.  While you don't want something to be wrong an answer would be wonderful.

Glad the tests came back great, but sorry you don't have any answers. Dh and I are in the same boat, we have been diagnosed as unexplained infertility. They have ran so many tests over the years and came back with no answers.

jumagirl

That's so frustrating.  Can you ask your OB to check your progesterone next cycle 7 days after you O to see if that is in order?  You could also ask for an HSG to see if your tubes are open.  I'm sorry you don't have answers - it is so incredibly frustrating.

dondraandluis

I'm sorry Heather. Have you had any testing done at all? I hope it happens for you soon!

I think this sounds like a good plan. I'm sorry you don't have any concrete answers yet, but at the same time - yay for sperm and ovulation and luteal phases!

All I can say ((hugs))

Mrs.EmmaLouise

Maybe now that we know nothing is wrong, your ute will cooperate and give you womb fruit this month  I've got all my fingers and toes crossed for you, I know you will get pregnant again, I just wish I could tell you when.  ((HUGS))

You all are so sweet.  You always make things better.  And thanks for the suggestions of tests to get.  I will definitely ask my OB about them.  Seriously, I will make a list. 

Monica, I am really suspicious about the cramping.  It's anxiety related.  I have it 95% less often than I used to.  But it's still pops up.  Especially around implantation time.  I try so hard to think about other things, but my brain screams "What if I get cramps and it messes up implantation???"  Which might give me some anxiety.  Which might be why I begin cramping.  I have to stop caring to get pregnant, I guess.  I just don't know how to do that.

I'm sorry. I wish I had answers for you. ((hugs))

maritzburggirl

yeah, that is very puzzling....I do hope the doctors can sort it out....but it is good that everything looks normal, but frustrating at the same time.

SweetieD21

Awww, how frustrating to not have an answer.  Have you had an hsg done?  What about a laparoscopy?  There could be something wrong that doesn't effect ovulation or your luteal phase.

rjl07

I'm glad to hear that nothing is wrong, but i know how frustrating that can be.  We are totally unexplained too and it's driving me nuts.  I guess age is our main problem though.  I think you have a good plan and I know you will be successful soon.

Exactly my thoughts...
