Questions included: I have been trying to get pregnant for 18 months, had a miscarriage, and am seeing a fertility specialist. My husband's sperm motility is 36% and morphology is 2%. The clinic says the numbers are minimally low and we can still try medicated cycles and IUI. I want feedback on whether we should stop the medicated cycles and focus on improving my husband's sperm first. I have two healthy children but have had two recent miscarriages. My husband's semen analysis shows normal count/volume but only 3% normal morphology. I want to know if the low morphology could be causing the miscarriages and if we would still have a good chance of conceiving naturally. My husband was treated for testicular cancer and we were able to bank his sperm. I am trying to decide whether to try IUI first or go straight to IVF given our limited sperm supply. My husband has 1% sperm morphology but all other parameters are normal. I am getting mixed advice - the urologist thinks we can conceive naturally, but the RE recommends IUI.

I'm a 32 year old who has had two second trimester losses (15 weeks and 19 weeks) that were genetically normal. Do I really need to do IVF, even with the genetically normal losses?

Dr. Natalie Crawford discusses the topic of unexplained versus undiagnosed infertility. Unexplained infertility is an official diagnosis when the standard fertility tests do not reveal a clear cause for the infertility. Many cases of "unexplained" infertility may actually be due to underlying issues like low ovarian reserve, endometriosis, autoimmune disorders, or other factors that are difficult to diagnose. She emphasized the importance of advocating for thorough testing and not accepting the "unexplained" label without further investigation into the root causes. Even with an "unexplained" diagnosis, there are often ways to uncover and address the underlying factors impacting fertility. Natalie answers your questions in FFS-For Fertility's Sake I know I need to go to a fertility clinic but I’m nervous and dragging my feet. How do I get over this? I have a low ovarian reserve confirm with suspected weak ovulation. What do I do now? How does Hashimoto’s impact fertility? Does TSH rule everything? Want to receive my weekly newsletter?
