    No. If you are having unexplained secondary infertility, your success rates are the same as those couples diagnosed with primary infertility, unfortunately. This was the first thing I asked my RE.
    Me: 35 I DH: 38
    *TW loss and children mentioned*
    DD:2006 | Dx: Unexplained Secondary Infertility | DS: 2011

    TFAS since 2012

    Oct 16: Spontaneous BFP | m/c @ 9w1d (massive SCH) | D&C
    Apr 17: IUI #1 = BFN
    May 17: IUI #2 = BFN
    Jun 17: IUI #3 = Late BFP (18 DPO) | NMC 17Jul17 @ ~6w
    Aug 17: IUI #4 = Cancelled due to premature ovulation | TI = BFN
    Sep 17: IUI #5 = Cancelled due to overstimulation (10+ follies)
    Nov 17: IVF #1 = Cancelled due to non-IF related health issue | TI = BFN
    Dec 17: IVF #1 = Puregon 200, Menopur 75, Orgalutran, Suprefact trigger due to OHSS risk | 22R, 18M, 16F, 10B frozen  
    Feb 18: FET #1 (medicated) = BFN
    Mar 18: FET #2 (natural cycle) = CP (beta 1: 54; beta 2: 0)
    Apr 18: FET #3 (natural cycle) = cancelled due to missed ovulation
    Apr 18: FET #3 (natural cycle) = BFP! Beta 1: 201  Beta 2: 585 Beta 3: 3254 Beta 4: 9715 U/S 19May - one bean measuring on track with a HB of 125!

    Well, it depends a bit on what your issues are, I think. Definitely for unexplained, as the pp said, that's right.

    For us, my only bad bloodwork is related to low levels of progesterone and testosterone, and DH's only marginally bad results were in morphology.

    So he says we are awesome candidates for IVF and even to some degree IUI, and he specifically said he would be more worried about DH's morphology issue if we didn't have kid #1.  And our chemical pregnancy was also in a sense good news to him. 

    So it sort of depends. But overall, I think PP is definitely right.

    Our RE says that in general it is good news that DH's sperm is able to fertilize my eggs and I am able to carry a child to term, so it takes a little of the guess work out of the situation.
