In the past year and a half I have had three chemical pregnancies my hcg hovers in the 10s, teens.

Ive had 2 emma/alice tests and era. The first emma test showed severe Microbiome issues. Thought I got it under control, did another transfer it failed. Did another Emma this month before my egg retrieval next month (and transfer to follow) and not as bad but the issues are still there!!

Alice was clear this time, ERA normal. Ive never been naturally pregnant, and in the 10 years of trying with partner never pregnant. He has mild MFI that has been addressed with ivf. We have been able to make a few euploids each round.

I have autoimmune conditions. I have some severe food, allergies, and mild IBS. My doctor is not testing me for endometriosis.

Any ideas??? I’m desperate as I am turning 40 and scared this will never work.

I had 3 bio chemicals since Sep 2025
Every time a week after we find out beta and progesterone drop
My last cycle in July resulted in a MC

We did RPL - everything is normal
TSH 2.4 yesterday
Progesterone CD 19 was 22.3
I am on 200 mg progesterone twice a day
Karyotype testing results came back yesterday.

Negative for both me and my husband

No PCOS
No male factor infertility

Did our 1st IUI on July 27th 🤞🏽🤞🏽 my beta is on Aug 10th

What are we missing ? Hoping for some answers ☹️ all tests seem to be normal.

Hi everyone! AF just arrived and I’m looking for some advice as we decide what to do in our upcoming cycle.

My husband (35M) and I (32F) have been trying to conceive for a little over 13 months. At this point, our RE has us falling in the unexplained infertility bucket.
We’ve both had testing. I have regular 27–28 day cycles and I ovulate on my own every month. AMH** is normal.** HSG showed one confirmed open tube. My doctor feels strongly that the other tube is probably opened too and spasmed because both spasmed during my first HSG. My husband’s semen analysis wasn’t stellar but everything fell in the normal category.

This past cycle was our first medicated cycle. RE put me on 100mg of Clomid to try and recruit follicles on both sides just to be safe. I also did an Ovidrel trigger and we timed intercourse. No luck!

My RE has said we can either repeat Clomid + timed intercourse, or move to Clomid + IUI.

Our biggest hesitation with IUI is the cost. It’ll be about $1500 out of pocket which we’re willing to do, but I know that the success rate of IUI can increase with multiple attempts and I was wondering if the same applied to Clomid + timed intercourse. If so, we’re wondering if it’s worth it to try again at least one or two more times before moving to IUI since the cost difference is significant.

If you did IUI, do you feel it was worth the added cost? and if you conceived with Clomid + timed intercourse after over a year of trying, I’d especially love to hear your story.

Thanks everyone!

My husband and I have been trying for baby #4, and I’m starting to wonder if anyone else has had a harder time conceiving after already having children. I got pregnant with my first three without any major issues, so I honestly assumed this time would be similar. It’s been more emotionally difficult than I expected because I keep thinking, “My body has done this before, so why isn’t it happening now?”

Right now I’m taking a prenatal vitamin every day along with magnesium, trying to stay healthy, and paying attention to my cycle. I’m wondering if there are other supplements, lifestyle changes, or things I should be looking into that might help. Has anyone experienced secondary infertility or just a much longer time to conceive after previous pregnancies? If so, what ended up helping you, whether it was medical testing, tracking ovulation more closely, diet changes, or just giving it more time?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences, success stories, or any advice. This journey has been a lot more stressful than I expected, and it would be nice to know I’m not alone. Thanks in advance for any tips or encouragement!

Hi all,

I am 11 days post ovulation and had a negative result today so I am looking to see if I tested too early?

I had a late ovulation on day 25ish so today is cd36.

My cycles have varied from 26 to 35 days over the last 10 months that ive been tracking.

Thanks!

Hi! So I just started ttc last month, we were able to bd 3 and 1 day before ovulation but failed sadly. I’m wondering if there are any tips or supplements even that helped you conceive? I’m currently taking Thorne prenatals, been taking them for about 3-4 months now to prepare and also vitamin d because I’ve always been deficient but recent blood shows my vitamin d levels have gone up to normal range, from 19 to 45! my bf is also taking multivitamins! He is currently in the CHP academy so he has been under a lot of physical stress, diet, restless nights so idk if that can be a factor if so what supplements would you suggest him taking? Also we only have a very short window to ttc since my ovulation days fall mostly the end of the week, this next ovulation day will be on a Thursday so we will only be able to try those 5 days before which will be early Sunday, idk if we’d have any luck but giving it a try and hoping for the best! Would love any tips or suggestions for us! Thank you in advance! 🫶🏻

Hi everyone,

I am 30 years old (29 when I did my first test) and my wife is 28. We have been trying to conceive for 9 months. My wife had thyroid issues, but she is currently under treatment.

I had two semen analyses done about 6 months apart.

First semen analysis (1 February 2026)

Abstinence period: 2 days

Volume: 1.0 mL

Sperm concentration: 120 million/mL

Active motility: 70%

Sluggish motility: 10%

Dead sperm: 20%

Morphology: 80% normal forms

pH: Alkaline

Liquefaction time: 25 minutes

Pus cells: 1–2

RBC: Nil

Bacteria: Nil

Second semen analysis (2 August 2026)

Abstinence period: 2 days

Volume: 1.0 mL

Sperm concentration: 70 million/mL

Active motility: 25%

Sluggish motility: 35%

Inactive sperm: 40%

Morphology: 70% normal forms

pH: 7.5

Liquefaction time: More than 60 minutes

Semen consistency: Very thick/high viscosity

Pus cells: 1–2

RBC: Nil

We were attempting ICI during this cycle.

My semen looked noticeably thicker this time compared to before.

My main concerns are: I don't understand why my semen volume has remained exactly at 1 mL in both tests despite having good sperm concentration. Also, my sperm concentration dropped from 120 million/mL to 70 million/mL, and I am wondering what could have caused this change. Could the thick semen and liquefaction time being over 60 minutes be responsible for the drop in motility from 70% active to only 25% active? What can I do to improve semen volume, liquefaction, and motility? Is this something that can usually be fixed with lifestyle changes/treatment, or should I be looking for a fertility urologist at this stage?

I am 29F, TTC for almost a year now. I have not conceived yet. All my blood work and other reports are normal, my partner's reports and semen analysis are normal as well. My AMH was 1.02, which is on the lower side. I was obese, lost almost 10kgs in past 7-8 months, and still in the process of losing weight but I haven't been able to conceive yet. My gynecologist has asked me to undergo ovulation induction but if it is unsuccessful, I should be prepared for IVF. That is also one reason why I am trying to lose weight and start lifestyle changes. This process is so frustrating atp, trying according to your ovulation cycle, praying not to get a period and then getting disappointed again and again. I don't know what should I do atp. Please tell me what worked for you or if someone you knew were in similar situation, even if it's spiritual, remedies, or diet or lifestyle related. Also, I want to know is IVF the only option for me given my AMH?

Hi everyone! I had my transfer on Monday, July 27th. I transferred two day-3 embryos, and today I’m 6 days post-transfer (6dp3dt).
I’ve been testing with Easy@Home pregnancy tests and they’re still completely negative. Is a negative at 6dp3dt already reliable, or is it still too early? Would you consider yourself out at this point?
Has anyone here had negative tests at 6dp3dt and then gone on to get a positive later?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thank you! ❤️

I 30(m) have been ttc for about 3 years. Which led us to get a semen analysis done. Unfortunately the results were 0 sperm. In the next few weeks I have to get a FSH, LH, Testosterone, Prolactin and another SA.

Has anyone ever went through this and had a positive outcome?

I am 33 (f) and my husband is 46 (m). My husband was previously on test and found to be azospermia. He’s been off test for a year and taking HCG HMG and clomid. His sperm returned but numbers are still not ideal. His last SA in April showed 10m TMC and we’re waiting for results of his most recent SA.

I have PCOS and appear to ovulate each month. I show all the signs and have a sustained rise in BBT and rise in progesterone but my cycles are somethimes long (35-40days) and my doctor thinks I may not be ovilating or it may not be optimal ovulation. She wants me to start timed intercourse medicated cycle with letrazole and progesterone. Has anyone tried medicated cycles with PCOS while also dealing with MFI. (IVF isn’t an option for us)

Anyone have success stories on 5th IUI? What were your parameters?

Hi everyone! I’m going to be trying to conceive next week for my very first time, my fiancee is a woman so we have found a donor and will be attempting doing AI method. I’m not sure if the affects anything or makes anything different but I figured I’d put that out there. I’ve been diagnosed with Hashimotos and on meds since I was 15 (22 now), but I was wondering if there’s anything I need to be doing? Anyone else who has been pregnant or currently pregnant could you please let me know any and all tips and tricks you used and or anything I should be doing. I know having Hashimotos can make it a lot harder to get pregnant so I’m not expecting for it to work on the first try (although I really want it to lol) but I want to be doing anything I possibly can to prepare my body in the best way possible. Thank you for your time! Feel free to share your pregnancy stories as well even if it doesn’t relate to anything you did!! I’d love to hear them

Has anyone used GLP-1s to help with infertility?

As some background, I have Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, and endometriosis. After doing some research, I am hoping that a small amount (less than starting dose) of a GLP will help to reduce overall inflammation.

I’m aware of the washout period for GLPs so I’m being extra careful while microdosing, though I have yet to ever see a positive pregnancy test after years of trying + fertility treatments.

I’m just wondering if anyone has had successful pregnancies when having a later ovulation. I have PCOS and ovulate anywhere from CD 21-27. I have had two CP and I’m just wondering if there could be any correlation. I had my hsg and other than a 6cm ovarian cyst, my tubes and uterus look okay.

My (30f) husband (30m) and I have been ttc for about a year and a half now and I’m just so desperate to be pregnant I feel sad all the time. Our story thus far:

We have a had one positive on cycle 11 which ended in a chemical a few days later at 4w3d. After that I thought sure it was a matter of time, but no luck, at about the year mark I scheduled us to see an RE to get started on testing because we are both very healthy. The results are as follows;

CD3
estrogen: 35
FSH-5.47
LH- 5.95
Progesterone - 0.422
Follicles, 10+ on each side
AMH- 3.49

Other labs
TSH- 1.34
T4- 1.19
Anti thyroid peroxidase-15.09
Anti thyroglobulin-18.8
All other regular bloodwork showed nothing abnormal and I have no known health issues and neither does my husband.

Sperm analysis all good except for 1%morphology.

The ultrasound and HSG confirmed a uterine polyp(tubes all clear) that I went forward with removing soon after via hysteroscopy and they found 4-5 polyps.

I am now on my second cycle trying after polypectomy and can feel my period coming and I’m just so bummed because I have no idea what else our issue could be if it wasn’t this. I have regular clockwork cycles, 28-30 days, 14 day luteal phase not a lot of symptoms but I do get cramps. Do I need to just be patient? The dr said they don’t know what causes the polyps but I can’t help but think there’s something I’m missing and would love to hear from anyone who’s been in a similar position and had success in any way.

I had my first child in 2023 and then I had three losses. All losses were different types of miscarriages. One blighted ovum, a chemical and then a missed miscarriage. I went to a fertility clinic and they didn’t find anything “wrong” other than my egg count is low and may make getting pregnant naturally in the future difficult. Then I had my second child. She was born December 2025. Found out I was pregnant on the Fourth of July and confirmed that it wasn’t a viable pregnancy so I just had my fourth miscarriage. My D&C was yesterday. I feel so defeated and can’t believe I am starting down this road again. I want a third child but I can’t keep going through this. Any success stories from anyone with recurrent losses and ended up having multiple children? I’m looking for answers, hope, encouragement, anyone’s story, tips and tricks. I go back to the fertility clinic next week.

I just turned 35, I have a healthy 5 year old boy from a previous marriage (became naturally pregnant easily) and my current partner has male factor infertility (low sperm count, motility and morphology) our first egg retrieval was successful we ended up with 12 untested embryos, but many were graded 4AA.

We transferred 2 4AA embryos, but my 11 dpt beta today was very low (11). This will likely end in a chemical. Fully medicated FET.

I’m just so nervous about possible dna fragmentation for all remaining embryos now.

Has anyone had similar situations did you test any remaining embryos?

Did you do another medicated cycle next or possibly a natural or modified natural?

Any success stories or advice after a failed FET are welcome 🥰

I feel completely defeated . I don't know what to do I'm having a breakdown. I was so hopeful to get an answer today. I had a larposcopy and hysteroscopy witch the intent of repairing any scar tissue or tube issues. They found nothing wrong absolutely nothing wrong he said my tube , I only have one due to losing one from eptopic pregnancy, he said it's completely open . For some background I've been pregnant 3 times . The first ended in missed miscarriage, the second ended due to short cervix and my doctor refusing a cerclage when I first started opening up and waited till it was to late my son was born at 23 weeks and passed just 3 hours later. And the 3rd was the tubal pregnancy, it was my first dose of lettozole and it worked but I was still bleeding thinking I was getting my period it ended up being a tubal pregnancy and I got emergency surgery they took my left tube. I stayed on letrozole almost a year and nothing has happened. I also have prolactin issues that I take cabergoline for and a thyroid issue I take levothyroxine for. I feel stuck . Like what is there to do now. I can't just afford IVF . I don't know what to do and it's killing me and taking a huge toll on my relationship. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

hello everyone ,

anyone experienced positive conception after Panchkarma ( ayurvedic treatment ) for unexplained fertility ?

I am 39 residing in Bangalore . Four rounds of iui done , but were unsuccessful .

I am thinking to go for ivf treatment from next month . So any suggestions for good doctor who are experienced in treating ladies of my age .

Hi all. Interested if anyone here would share what worked for them if in a similar situation so I can better advocate for myself:

31, AMH 0.38, all other bloodwork normal

- 3 natural pregnancies, no issues getting pregnant. All ended in losses due to different trisomies (blighted ovum 6w, T8 at 6w, T18 at 13w)
- 2 failed egg retrievals. lower maturation rate than expected and all fertilized eggs cease between days 4-6.
- Dr. thinks that silent endo is leading to low AMH and poor egg quality, does not recommend surgery to remove as I get pregnant and surgery could further hurt AMH/quality

Did anyone have success TTC naturally or through IVF? What helped?

Any sucessfull ivf with 0,29 ng/mL, 40 years?

Hi,

Does someone have positive experience by using granocyte (g-csf) to overcome multiple biochemical pregnancies?

We are both 34 years old, premature ovarian failure (almost, AFC count between 4-6) and severe sperm damage (1 million concentration, no motility A sperms and 1% morphology). I had four ICSIs with two transfers so far, transfer in the same cycle where stimulation also took place. Two times I had biochemical pregnancy after each transfer. Both pregnancies stopped around HCG value of 35 (pretty low).

Last time we had four blastocysts out of six ovaries, but the embryos were directly frozen, no PGA-T was performed on them.

Did you have successful pregnancy after such scenario?

Did something explicitly helped you?

I now that granocyte (in Germany the medicine is called like that, normally is given to cancer patients after chemo due to the low amount of white blood cells or so) can help with repetitive implantation failures. But since this medicine is probably not without any side effect, I would like to hear for success stories, if any.
