What's your infertility "issue". Obviously we've all been trying for awhile and I was curious to see who else has known infertility problems... You can post what you suspect you have too... I'm just being nosy

I think my issue is low progesterone. I haven't had any tests done, but when I saw my OB in August he put me on Clomid. This was the first month on it and even though we didn't DTD on the right days, I haven't spotted at all (and I took a test today when I expected AF by - BFN)

I have irregular cycles and I don't always ovulate. I'm currently working with a RE to figure out why. I just had 9 vials of blood drawn to figure my hormone levels out.

My DH has had 3 SA's done. The first was really low, the second was almost clinically sterile and the 3rd was pretty good. Currently we're working with a 48 million count in total, but low morphology (15%) and low motility (18%).

I already have a daughter, so i am guessing that this time around it is just timing.

I am using CM as a guide to when I ovulate (my cycles can be different by about 7days). I actually didn't notice any CM last month, which seemed a little odd. Has this happened to anyone else?????

DH has only 3% morphology and his motility is a little low. My progesterone is low and I have not been ovulating. I am on my second round of femera.

Low progesterone, endometriosis appear to be the problem right now. I'm going in for a laproscopy in december if not BFP yet. DH has normal SA results. So we keep trying. This will be my second cycle of Progesterone suppositories.

I have a son too. I had no problem getting pregnant with him (surprise), and now we are trying to get pregnant and it hasn't happened in 9 months.

I don't know what my/our problem is. I have a doctor's appointment Thursday (hoping it'll be a confirmatio appointment) but either way I'm hoping to start getting some answers. DH had an SA in December and although it was normal for everything it was on the low end, but the doctor didn't seem to think there were any problems. So, I'm thinking it's me. Being older, it's going to be a little bit more difficult. But, I don't have any EWCM so I'm thinking that may be the biggest issue. This chart looks different than any of my others, so maybe that means something good.

Because I can't afford to go to the doctor i'm not sure if there is anything except for bad timing. As well my cycles are somewhat irregular so that probably doesn't help.

Just don't O all the time... seems like only half the time that I actually O, so now I'm on Clomid. After 4 MORE cycles of Clomid, if there's no BFP, we'll move on to an RE and have a SA done.

I O really late, have low progesterone and a short LP. Clomid lengthened my LP, but didn't fix it completely and really thinned my lining. I have an RE appointment on Tuesday this week. I'm waiting to hear if she thinks there's anything else going on.

I think if it doesnt happen in the next two months (that will be a year of ttc) I will go to the DR. But because this is the positive thinking month, I am sure I will only need to make a Dr appointment to confirm my pregnancy! lol

Still undetermined. We've been TTC for 10 months/9 cycles, and had 1 chemical pregnancy. So I know at least one tube is open. My digital monitor (CBEFM) also tells me that I'm ovulating, although I o later in the month than most - after day 21, generally. Have done the Day 3 and Day 24 bloodwork, and everything - estrogen, progesterone, thryroid, etc - has come back normal. LP seems fine, it's always exactly 14 days between when I o and when AF arrives.

I think I have hostile mucus or very low levels of fertile mucus, but my doctor hasn't tested for that yet. We started using Pre-Seed instead of Astroglide this month, so hopefully that will help. Also, DH will go in for an SA next month, and we'll start our first round of Clomid since my cycles are generally in the 35+ days range. If we're still not pregnant by Dec, we will do the tubal dye test, post-coital tests, and whatever else my doctor thinks we need.

DH has low counts, 30% morphology/motility, and I have Hashimoto's. I'm also worried I am not ovulating.

I'm not sure what we have as far as issues... We haven't started testing yet, but I think it's a case of bad timing with BD. We'll see though as if we're not pregnant in the next month or two, we'll be heading to the Dr...

Well as of right now its pretty unexplained (technically)

I was told earlier this year that it is possible I have endometriosis. I had an ultrasound and the sonogrammer told me that she suspects I have it because she noticed a slight thin uterine lining and minimal filmy adhesions. Most likely I have stage 1 endometriosis, which SHE said doesn't cause TTC problems...but obviously its not looking that way. I'll get an HSG soon to see if my tubes are clear and see if I'd be a good candidate for a lapo. Other than that, I have average LP's average cycles and ovulate normally.

Calvin has not gotten an SA yet but hopefully we can do that soon.

So that's about it, as of right now, my doctor says its unexplained since my problems are severe enough. If anyone else has endo or knows anything else about it let me know.
