I have seen a few people mention getting tested for urea-plasma and being positive, getting treated, then getting pregnant. I brought the test up to my fertility doc today (we just had a failed IUI, 4th one in a year and a half). He said they don't test for it because research doesn't really support any link between it and infertility. I'm curious if anyone else has encountered this stance from a doctor, and if you decided to be pushy about it or not. I have unexplained infertility, have tested my thyroid, had an HSG, tested progesterone levels, respond well to Clomid, husband has superb semen analysis every time.....I can't help but wonder if there are other tests that might help explain why we haven't been successful. Thoughts and experiences?

I have not heard of this and had to google it. The majority of the studies I saw on a *very* quick glance were quite old. The only time I asked about something and my RE responded like this, I chose to trust my doctor. I liked her and felt like she would do something if I pushed, but that she also was giving me her honest feedback. It was up to me to decide how I felt about it. The internet is full of stories on anything under the sun, but I figured my dr understood the nuances I wouldn't gather from a random person's blog post. At the end of the day, you have to follow your gut on it. It's so hard when you want answers and aren't finding them!

My RE also doesn't test for it. I didn't ask her in person, so I don't know exactly why. We are waiting for our karyotype results, but if those come back normal and we have another loss, I might push for it just in case.

I’ve never heard of this one before! What would treatment entail?

@mrsrobertson15: have they tested your FSH and AMH?
