Had all the standard tests: all normal. Tried Clomid: didn't work. Tried Follistim+IUI: 3 conceptions, 3 1st trimester miscarriages (2 with blood thinner, in case of possible blood clotting problem). To others in such a situation, consider reproductive immunology testing. Check out the book by Alan E Beer--Is My Body Baby-Friendly? RE's don't usually consider this possibility, since it's not their specialty. The science is controvercial, but maybe plausible. You need to decide for yourself if it might offer an explanation for your situation. We're start treatment next week... our last, best hope. TTC 6 yrs. Had all the standard tests: all normal.

Whatever the reason, and you may never know what it is, things aren't working and as much as it sucks and it hurts to hear it, the older you get, the more likely you will experience difficulties in getting pregnant. Please don't let the passing of time be added to your list of regrets and worries and hurdles. If I had known what I do now about infertility, I would have started the whole process a few years earlier. Who knows, maybe I would have been a parent by now. I am really sorry for your sadness and disappointment. It is heartbreaking. But there is hope. -EHR To Leslie-Ann,

Cycles are clockwork. We are bypassing low tech and going straight to IVF. 50% success rates and even higher justifies the costs to us. We did all the Mucinex, green tea, acupuncture, etc etc crap and none of it worked. I think everyone has to find the path that works for them. I hope you are all successful (as long as I don't have to know it when it works or see you pregnant on the street). You know how it is, right?

I had already ovulated and 2. my eggs are only 10.5 when they should be 18. So my question is: what can I do to increase my mini-eggs?! Been ttc for 1 1/2 years, had one miscarriage at 5 weeks. Totally frustrated. Trying to keep my chin 'up' is the hardest thing ever. Advice, please! Ok..just went in for my u/s after first cycle of Letrozole to find that 1.

It has helped me stay sane, seriously! <br/>I left Eastern Medicine a few months ago (after a miscarriage & I ran out of acupuncture visits per insurance) to try progerstone and it has not worked at all. A combo of bad doctors and bad medical advice, as well, have let me down. I'd love to hear from more women who have had luck/experience with acupuncture/herbs: how long? which herbs? which methods? what was your 'diagnosis'? etc... <br/>My experience is that when working with Chinese doctors, they sat down and explained more to me, even taught me a lot about the process. They really listened. My experience with Western docs has been just the opposite. <br/>What are your experiences? First I have to say I love this blog. It has helped me stay sane, seriously!

I also have a cycle that is like clockwork and have my ovulation dates down pat. Every month is just heartbreaking, but this month in particular I felt sure that this would be it, especially when I had a light coloured bleed on day 25 of my 28 day cycle which I convinced myself was implantation bleeding. Anyone have any words of wisdom? My husband and I have been trying for nearly 3 years and have been through all the tests stated above and came out with flying colours.

My husband and I have been trying almost 2 and a half years. I just tried Serophene(clomid) for 3 months with no result. I am leaning toward a natural route. Anyone tried natural essential oils before? Thanks for all the information regarding unexplained infertility. My husband and I have been trying almost 2 and a half years.
