  Darn ccam. I know it's good to not have any bad news, but I totally get wanting them to find something they could fix. It sorta feels like you went through all that testing for nothing. FX for a great next cycle.

  TTC with PCOS since November 2009
  

  IUI#1 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 3-7) = BFP, m/c
  IUI#2 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 5-9) = BFN
  IUI#3 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 3-7) = BFP!
  beta #1 11/23 = 270, P4 = 75
  beta #2 11/28 = 2055
  Our daughter E was born 7/29/2012!
  Surprise, our 2nd daughter P was born 5/22/14!

  ((hugs)) sorry there wasn't a *smoking gun* found, it IS good news that nothign is wrong. But won't make it any easier to move forward b/c if you don't know what is broken, you can't fix it. Frustrating. I really hope you find success this next cycle.

  Yep, it's a weird position to be in.  You want them to find something, but something fixable.  I hope all the stars align with your next cycle and that that's the one.

  Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

  Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

  So good and bad. At least there hope. I know the position of not getting answers that are helpful though. My doc would always say "it just means try again!" I think he meant well but didn't get the exhaustion, financial burden, emotional rollercoaster, and exposure to all the meds ghat we are subjected too. Hang in there. There is hope. Good luck with the next try!

  Me = 36 with PCOS and 1 tube removed for a cyst and adhesions

  DH = 35 with low morphology

  
  

  April '09 IVF (antagonist protocol) = 5R5M, none fertilized, cancelled at ET

  May/June '09 IVF/ICSI = 6R6M6F, 2ET on 6.18.09, 1 frostie, Beta on

  6.30.09 = 51 OMG!! Beta #2 = 167 Beta #3 = 2630!!!!! An uneventful pregnancy. 

  3.16.10 a healthy beautiful miracle boy born via unscheduled c-section

  
  

  Now on the quest for another, so our dear son is not alone.

  
  

  May/June '12 IVF/ICSI (antagonist protocol) =10R9M9F, 1ET = BFN, 2 frosties

  Aug '12 FET, 1ET= beta hell, 2 rounds of methotrexate, 4 months later Hcg < 2 
  

  Jan/Feb '13 IVF/ICSI (long lupron protocol) = 18R18M18F, 1ET = BFN, 10 frosties
  

  Apr '13 FET w 2ET (one from '09 and one newer) = (strep throat during 2ww) biochemical = BFN

  June '13 FET w 2ET = 1 baby boy lost at 10w, D/E with karyotyping, loss due to monosomy 21.

  Karyotyping of me and DH negative for a balance translocation.

  Dec '13 FET w 2ET, BFP!!!! 12/26 beta #1 10dp5dt = 781, beta 2 12dpt= 2234 could this be real?!

    Not giving up yet.

  5 frosties on ice.

  
  

  Truly realizing how much of a miracle my son is and praying this will be a sibling for him.

  I agree with what's been said. Unexplained IF is such a weird place to be. The good news is there's no reason you shouldn't get P, but you're not and that sucks. I am right there with you. FX for a great next cycle!
