Fertile, yet still infertile after 10 years?

I have been unable to conceive after 10 years of trying.  I have been to numerous specialist, who assure me that I am fertile, my eggs are huge, and my husband has motile sperm.  What am I missing?  I have had my tubes cleaned out, taken Glucophage, and anti Estrogen drugs, but nothing seems to work

Unfortunately, many women who have problems getting pregnant fall into the "unexplained" category. Everything seems to be fine, yet they don't get pregnant. If it's been 10 years, and you're currently trying to conceive, I would highly recommend you set up an appointment with an RE (fertility specialist). It sounds like you've already had a lot of tests done, but I think at this point, in addition to testing, it might be a good idea to consider some fertility treatments. You could start off with something like clomid, which is just a pill you take for five days early in the cycle, followed by either natural intercourse or IUI. This will help you produce more the one follicle and increase your chances of conceiving. Plus, if you do the IUI, the sperm will be "pre-washed" and inserted directly into the uterus, through the cervix. Later on, if necessary, you could move on to stronger medications, or even IVF. But I would start with a consultation. Best of luck with everything!
