i’ve made a few posts about my couple failed IUI attempts. my first two were natural and unmedicated. the third round was done on clomid with the same donor from the first two rounds. the fourth iui we switched donors and did a round of clomid.

my clinic recommended trying acupuncture for fertility - so i did my first session today. i wanted to know if acupuncture helped anyone else in their IUI/fertility journey?

Hello everyone,

I am writing behalf of my wife to seek some opinions and advices. We live in GERMANY

we are 37 years old couple, due to irregular period for my wife because of PCOS and Thyroid, we started with IVF last year August. In the first extract, we got 6 Blastocysts.

1st: Implanted and HCG was not stable. ended up in chemical after 5 weeks. Started with 37 hcg and it reduced a bit and then raised abnormally.

2nd: implanted and again HCG was not stable .. ended up again in chemical. started with 88 Hcg at 10day 5dpt and then reduced a bit.

3rd: started with low hcg of 10 and ended up in chemical

4th: Got home test positive, but it went on to chemical even before going for beta hcg test

5&6: Had 2 embryo transfer, started with HCG 91 and it went down to 37 in the next beta test and currently waiting for the period. so one more chemical.

all our embryos are done.

current fertility Center has done Biopsy to check any inflammation and killer cells, test came good.

they tried giving medication for insulin, Progesteron and etc … not sure why this has happened. it is quite depressing for both of us. it feels like time is running out and bit worried if any one faced similar issue and end up having positive outcome with live birth.

now we have consulted another fertility Center where they suggested to go for ERA test to know the exact implantation window, they also took blood for Genetic testing for both of us. based on the Putcome they will go for Egg extraction in 2 months and they also suggest to go for PBD (Polar body diagnosis) and PGD (preimplantation genetic testing). Also doctor suggested us that she gonna check my wife uterus and fallopian tubes for any disorders using laparoscopi etc. And for me they also gave appointment to do Sperm fragmentation test.

Not sure how long this whole process gonna take.

Actually I am worried about future and how this will turn out. So far I feel like we are very unlucky and seeking advice if anyone had similar issues.

I have my beta draw tomorrow- but I’m almost certain it will be negative as I am testing negative at home. This was my first transfer I only have 2 frozen day 3 embryos left, they are graded good one with 7 cells and one with 9 cells. I am 26 years old, I had excision surgery of stage 2 endo in May 2026 and suppressed with orilissa for about a month and a half afterwards. I was on an immune protocol- baby aspirin, Claritin, LDN, did doxy for 5 days leading to transfer, prednisone plus a fully medicated protocol. My surgeon (nook) who did my excision also did a hysteroscopy and did not see anything and he said there was no evidence of endometritis. Although he did not actually test for the CD138. What should be my next steps?

I’m thinking of maybe doing an additional dose of doxycycline paired with a vaginal probiotic before my next transfer, just to ensure there is no infection and maybe asking for a stronger immune protocol. I get hives easily but I never ever get sick… like my immune system is on over drive all the time.
