Unexplained infertility success after 2 years?

we've had the unexplained infertility diagnosis after 2 years of trying. On the waiting list for IUI.

Has anyone had any success naturallt after the same diagnosis/amount of time trying?

Kind of written off it being possible 🤷‍♀️

I've got an unexplained infertility diagnosis. No hint of pregnancy for 16 cycles but then concieved. I'm sadly dealing with recurrent miscarriages though - all naturally concieved within the last 18 months. We've been ttc over 2.5 years now. I know not quite the answer you were looking for, but there is hope.
Good luck 🤞

When I met my husband he had been tested and showed me the results to say he could not conceive without help. His swimmers were mainly inactive. Him and his previous partner had been trying for two years.

Once we got together he told me and showed me and I accepted that we may need help. We didn't! We got together in the March and by the December I was pregnant! It can happen.

We have just had our second in lockdown (8 year gap between them) Shock

I know two people who needed ivf because they couldn't conceive then conceived a second child naturally just a few months after giving birth. The body can surprise you

A friend of mine and her husband had unexplained infertility, had 2 rounds of unsuccessful IVF then decided to take a year off trying, and just enjoy themselves and spend money on other things and fell pregnant naturally! Currently pregnant with baby number 2 at the moment!
Another friend fell pregnant and miscarried when she was younger. TTC for another 10 years. Had a successful round of IVF, resulting in twins, and then fell pregnant naturally the following year.
Don't lose hope!

It took me over two years TTC with both my children (had then at 36 and 40 so age not on my side)

I used agnus castus and sure first baby was due to that, second was distraction with new job.
Both children I hit the gym and lost a bit of weight which I think really helped for me as I'm a little overweight and hormones can be affected by higher or lower fat - small changes can make a difference

I hope you find that something that works for you, I'd say don't stop researching what others have found success with and don't just accept the infertile thing, loads of people have had success when they were told otherwise

Yes. Unexplained here. Three years without even a sniff of a BFP. We had an unsuccessful round of IVF and we were just gearing up for a FET when I fell pregnant naturally. DS is now a year and I'm watching him shovel banana pancakes into his mouth as I type this.

We were diagnosed with unexplained infertility after 1.5 years of trying naturally and then another 1.5 years of IVF.

We had 3 failed cycles and have finally been successful with our 4th Smile so there is hope!

It's hugely stressful and exhausting I know, but it can happen

Yes me! Tried for nearly 3 years for no 1 (had failed clomid cycles due to PCOS). I was in my late 20s so young to have problems. Then had a very small gap to baby 2 (18 months!)
Turned out I had severe stage 4 endometriosis which explains the delay (i feel very ill when I ovulate) - good luck, it can happen after many years of trying (my fertility seemed to improve with age 🤷‍♀️.. although I did have more miscarriages).
