I’m new to this page but was hoping to find some understanding support. I’m 38F blessed with a lovely 13DS however have been trying to conceive for 4 years with no luck at all. Had all the tests done, they can find no obvious problems. Has anyone else had unexplained secondary infertility, what was the reason or the outcome for you? I’m not sure where to go from here, is it really that I’m just too old now? For info I am very healthy, fit and have no underlying medical problems or weight issues.

I'm 40 and also suffered from unexplained infertility. Me and my partner tried for 7 years to conceive eventually going for IVF via the NHS, after numerous tests neither of us were showing any obvious issues. In fact, on paper our results were great and exactly as they should be, if not better for our ages.
After several rounds of IVF I finally got pregnant and am currently 33 weeks pregnant with my miracle little boy.
Luckily for us we were able to have NHS IVF as I have no other children (my partner has 2 children from previous relationships).
As you already have a child I'm not sure if you will qualify for NHS but worth visiting your GP who will advise.
Sometimes unexplained remains just that, unexplained. Its annoying and I feel harder to come to terms with, how do you treat an unexplained issue :(
Good luck, I hope you get the answers you need.

im to struggling with secondary infertility I’m 37 and have a 15year daughter convinced naturally and still with the same partner. We’ve been trying 8 years for our second child and sadly we’ve experienced 7 mc. All test have come back normal so I have no answers as to why the pregnancies don’t stick.
my dr has recently prescribed me Clomid which I’m hoping will work. I ovulate regularly and no trouble falling pregnant however we seem to mc after 8 weeks. Hopefully Clomid works. All the best with your baby journey x
