Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered

My bigger concern is that you might have an immunologic inmmplantation dysfunction and if so , IUI alone wont bve effective. This could explain your losses too. Between 2% and 5% of women in their childbearing years deal with hypothyroidism, a condition that affects women more than men.…

Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered

Perhaps you do have underlying endometriosis but taking the BCP for some time before conceiving probably had nothing to do with your original success. Perhaps we should talk about your secondary infertility. It is one thing for a woman who has never been able to conceive (primary infertility)…
