Hi! Introduction

NikkiPSU · July 2016

Hello everyone,

I'm here after TTC for nearly 2 years. I thought I could use some support. DH and I have been married for 5 years, I'm 31 and he's 33.

So far we've done all the testing and everything is coming back normal. Had my HSG yesterday and since everything came back fine they told us to keep trying. It's getting overly frustrating watching all my friends and relatives have no issues. So I thought I could use some support and positivity in my life and here I am!

Welcome! It can be so frustrating to be diagnosed with unexplained infertility. I'm surprised your doctor didn't give you any more options... When we were diagnosed with unexplained IF, my Dr. said we would only have about a 3% chance of conceiving on our own, and started making some recommendations for us.

If you not content to wait, I would get a second opinion. Are you working with an RE or OB?

NikkiPSU · July 2016

We're currently working with my OB. He hasn't referred us to an RE yet

ReesaAnne16 · July 2016

Have you been using OPK's or charting BBT to know if your timing has been good?
I would suggest getting a referral to an RE, if you feel like you want a more aggressive treatment plan.

NikkiPSU · July 2016

Yep. Been chatting and using the tests for over a year. Very frustrating.

ReesaAnne16 · July 2016

That is very frustrating

Many women here know how you feel, I'm glad you're here

Definitely see another doc. 2 years ttc with well timed sex and no success is not normal and you should be taken seriously and given some treatment options. Good luck with everything and keep us posted!

I third the recommendation to see an RE since its been 2 years. An HSG isn't the only test you'll need, and, unfortunately, a normal HSG doesn't mean you don't have any problems, it just means your tubes are open and your uterus looks good. Your doctor should do a hormone panel and your H should have a semen analysis.

NikkiPSU · July 2016

Hormone panel and SA all came back good too. We've been undergoing testing since October.

Ducks&Cats · July 2016

You've had all the testing, time to see a specialist! I am just getting started with the specialist process, currently I am taking Clomid with my OBGYN and I have consult scheduled with an RE. If you can't see an RE right now for financial reasons try another OBGYN. Like I said earlier, you deserve to be heard. Just because infertility is unexplained doesn't mean there isn't something wrong, it just means that they haven't figured it out yet.

NikkiPSU · July 2016

Thanks for the advice! DH and I are going to do our research and schedule a consult with a RE to figure out some new options. We're not getting any younger here and it's been a long road so far.

Hi @NikkiPSU ! I hate to just echo what everyone else has already said but welcome! and I hope your RE consult gives you some different options!!

NikkiPSU · July 2016

Spoke to the hubby last night. He wants to give it 2 more months and see what happens. He said he has a good feeling.

Hi @NikkiPSU and welcome. So sorry for your struggles. My DH and I are the same age as you and yours, we've been off BC since 10/13 and we're also a version of unexplained. After my MC I magically stopped ovulating, but the doctors have no idea why so they have just chalked it up to stress. I'm sort of anti-meds, for right now at least, because I want to figure out why my body isn't doing what it's supposed to. We're currently going on 12 months post loss and plan to give it til September also so it looks like we may be on similar timelines! Best of luck to you!!
