This is an important one. I recently discovered the problem (we think) of why dh and I cannot conceive. I have been to two RE's in the past 3 years and neither of them tested me for this particular infection. Dh and I are both infected with a fungus infection in our reproductive organs. My infection is in my lining of the uterus, and in my ovaries (it has also wound up in my intestines) and dh's is only in the area where the sperm is stored. Now, this blows my mind as to why RE's only check for bacterial and viral infections, but yet they overlook fungus infections. Dh and I should have been checked BEFORE we even did any type of TX. We wasted $28,000.00 doing 5 IUI's, and 2 IVF's while my lining is too toxic for embryos. Here I am, almost 36 years old, and now on top of everything I have age working against me. I cannot believe all this time that has been wasted over ONE overlooked possibility. Thank goodness we sought out another doctor, or we still would be wasting money on IF tx.
