Why am I unable to conceive despite regular periods at 25?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am 25 years old. I am healthy, no medications, regular periods of 28 to 30 days. My partner and I have been together for seven years, and we have been TTC for five years with no luck. I have given up hope for a long time. Last year, I started seeing a chiropractor because of lower back pain.

Early this year, my period was a week late, and I felt different. So, I decided to take a pregnancy test. I had two positive digital tests and another positive on the first response, with two lines that appeared. I was definitely pregnant. I could not believe it!

The only thing I had done differently was to see a chiropractor, and it was instant that I conceived. Unfortunately, I had a very early miscarriage. Just two days after my positive tests, I began to bleed and confirmed with a doctor that it had been miscarried. To this day, I still see a chiropractor, and we keep on trying to get pregnant, but it is not happening.

I am back to feeling hopeless. I still cannot believe I saw three positive tests. I thought I would never see that for myself. I was so close. It gives me the slightest hope that maybe it will happen for me one day.

Is there any information you can give me?
Why is this happening to me?
What might help me?

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There are multiple factors that need to be evaluated in a secondary infertility case, the male and the female. Considering that you became pregnant, the male factor is healthy with motile and healthy sperm.

It is now important to get your hormonal profile done along with an ultrasound of the pelvis to rule out PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease), hypothyroidism, or hyperprolactinemia, which can cause delayed follicular development or immature follicles that do not ovulate.

You may be experiencing anovulatory cycles. Hence, follicular monitoring should be done for a natural dummy cycle to check for follicular growth.

I hope this helps.

Thank you, and take care.

Regards.
