Should One Continue IUI Or Try Conceive Naturally?
I got pregnant last summer and had a missed miscarriage after 12 weeks. They said it probably happened 8-9 weeks. I had a D&C at the end of July.
I had been taking Clomid before the pregnancy and after with no luck. I did not take Clomid the month I actually concieved however. Then I moved on to a clinic to do IUI. Before I actually started treatment in April, I had a positive test result in March. Five days later it was negative. In April, I took Femara and did an unsuccessful IUI. Then, in June I had another positive test...only to have it negative within 2 days.
Just this month, I did another unsuccessful IUI.
Every time that I have had a positive test result, or the time I actually got pregnant, there has been NO medication or intervetion other than me tracking my ovulation.
What would you do? I feel like just giving up and leaving it to chance. It seems like I've been more successful that way...
Btw...I am 38 and don't have any kids or any known causes for my inconsistent/late ovulation aside from being slightly overweight.

Hi,
I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply:
1) You are 38 years old and hence decreased ovarian reserve.
2) Hence it is common to have abortions or infertility.
3) Please see an IVF specialist and check options of PGD
Let me know if you have anymore questions.
Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol
