A member asked:

Do you think i was mis diagnosed? i was told i might be infertile. no one in my family has that.

Unknown: Infertility often doesn't run in families. Most of the causes of infertility are not genetic so having a negative family history doesn't really make any difference but you might want to check with someone who has a specialty in infertility to be sure.
