Unexplained fertility

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

I understand your concerns about infertility.

There is certain group of couple (about 30%) who are classified as unexplained infertility. They have all tests normal and still not able to conceive.

You have unexplained infertility. You have undergone enough no. Of IUI cycles. Your age is also on higher side. Therefore it is better to go ahead with IVF sooner.

IVF is best option.

Let me know if you need any more help.

I have asked my doctor about ivf and she said it will not help you because everytime u conceive u miscarry in 5 weeks and also she has removed a septum from my uterus in december 2013 after which i ahve not taken any infertility treatment. I have both my fallopian tubes open and both my ovaries ovulate now and then.

It was confirmed by blood teat. It never went upto the stage of ultrasound.the last one i had was actually frowing gud but then suddenly i started bleeding and when i went for ultrasound there was no sac.and that was natural conception without any treatment. It happened in sept 2013 after which the septum was removed.
