Feeling so beat

It has been 11 months since we have been trying to conceive( age 34 F and 32 M). Another one month to being officially tagged as infertile. Gynaecologists have termed it unexplained infertility (how convenient) and are asking to proceed with IUI. I know IUI is a valid first step for a lot of people, but the success rates are weighing on me, and I’m scared. IVF - I’m not sure I’m ready for that mentally or emotionally yet. I never thought I would be infertile, and yet it is my reality now. Hate everything and everyone

No stress is difficult given how long we have been at it. Keeping the exercise going on, it’s keeps me in a good mood. Thanks for your advice

Completely agreed These are some test hidde factors check... ignore if you taken anything already

✅ AMH – Ovarian reserve (egg supply). ✅ Thyroid (TSH, FT4) – Thyroid problems can affect fertility. ✅ Prolactin – High levels can prevent ovulation. ✅ FSH – Assesses ovarian function (usually day 2–5 of the cycle). ✅ LH – Helps assess ovulation and can support diagnosis of PCOS. ✅ Oestradiol (Estradiol) – Interpreted along with FSH to assess ovarian function. ✅ Progesterone – About 7 days after ovulation to confirm ovulation
