Unexplained infertility — Irvine, CA
Unexplained infertility means the standard workup — ovulation, tubes, semen analysis, ovarian reserve — found no cause. It is a diagnosis of exclusion, and it is common. It does not mean nothing is wrong; it means today's tests can't see what is.
The evidence-backed path is usually stepped: a few cycles of ovulation induction with IUI, then IVF if those fail. Reasonable clinics differ on how fast to escalate — what matters is that the plan has a defined number of attempts and a decision point, not open-ended repetition.

What to ask at a consult
- What did my workup actually rule out, and what wasn't tested?
- How many IUI cycles before IVF, and what success rate do you expect from each step for my age?
- At what point would you change the plan?
