When do you look at revising the diagnosis?

When would you consider looking at "other" issues than those originally diagnosed?
I ask the question because I'm interested in peoples different opinions and to see how they vary.
We have been told that we have Male Factor infertility, with severely reduced everything that was tested. Wife has come up clear on all tests done to date and is (just) under 30. However the "score" sheet with ivf/icsi is: IVF 1: chemical, IVF 2: baby carried to term - start on number 2! Ivf 3: failure, ivf 4: chem, fet 1: miscarriage at 8 weeks. Last ivf/fet where in conjunction with acupuncture and herbs for hubby.
When would you consider looking at the "sticking" issues rather than just plugging away with another IVF/ICSI?
Any advice appreciated.
Kate.

Hi kate,
"When would you consider looking at the "sticking" issues rather than just plugging away with another IVF/ICSI?"
I think several IVF's ago. I am not sure if they will have too many suggestions for helping implantation though. However, you may want to talk with a Chinese medicine practitioner in your area who has fertility experience. They should be able to help with sperm and egg heath as well as lining quality and implantation.
