Unexplained infertility

This is the official diagnosis we got today. I was expecting it having looked at the screens during tests, etc. My blood tests fine, tubes clear, no problems visible on TV ultrasound, hubby's SA's both ok. But it is a strange "diagnosis". On the one hand, we should be happy that there is nothing obviously broken! On the other hand it just makes it all the more frustrating that it hasn't happened.

I'm not sure what I am expecting from this thread (although happy outcomes from other "unexplained" ladies would be nice Grin) but I just wanted to post as I'm trying to take it in. Next stop IVF, apparently.

Hi Eurochick, just to say i know how you feel, its a very frustrating diagnosis but good that there's no reason why you can't conceive. I've got the same diagnosis. Have you been charting your temperature and if so what pattern does it look like? I've been recommended to read a book called 'the infertility cure' by randine lewis. its got these diagnostic checklists that links everything together; things to do with your periods (e.g. clots or pain) with emotional patterns (irritability, anger, depression), sleep patterns, digestive patterns, susceptability to other illnesses etc, its really interesting. Based on what patterns you have and what your bbt charts look like its makes recommendations (e.g. taking agnus castus, accpuncture points you can massage etc - loads of different recommendations that you are encouraged to do as many as possible to pull everything in the same direction to address any imbalances). The idea is the smoother your bbt chart becomes and the more any other symptoms subside the closer you become to removing any imbalances to conceiving. I do think there's something in very minor imbalances that don't show up in doctors tests but still just need tweaking for the whole system to fall into balance. What do you think?

Hi eurochick, hope you're ok, I know how frustrating an unexplained diagnosis as it was the initial diagnosis we were given. Have you had a lap done? It wasn't until I had one of these that the doctor discovered I had endometriosis. It hadn't shown on any scans or tests previously so was a bit of a shock. It might be worth asking if you can have one done if you havent had one previously. Best of luck
