Infertility Treatment
Infertility means not being able to get pregnant after at least one year of trying (or 6 months if the woman is over age 35). If a woman keeps having miscarriages, it is also called infertility. Female infertility can result from age, physical problems, hormone problems, and lifestyle or environmental factors.
Most cases of infertility in women result from problems with producing eggs. In primary ovarian insufficiency, the ovaries stop functioning before natural menopause. In polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the ovaries may not release an egg regularly or they may not release a healthy egg.
Diagnostic Testing for Female Infertility
Any evaluation for infertility should be done in a focused and cost-effective way to find all relevant factors, and should include the male as well as female partners. The least invasive methods that can detect the most common causes of infertility should be done first. The speed and extent of evaluation should take into account the couple’s preferences, the woman’s age, the duration of infertility, and unique features of the medical history and physical examination.
The following tests may be recommended as part of your infertility evaluation:
-
Male Partner Semen Analysis:
A semen analysis should provide information about the number, movement, and shape of the sperm. A semen analysis is necessary even if the male partner has fathered a child before.
-
Hysterosalpingogram (HSG):
This is an X-ray procedure to see if the fallopian tubes are open and to if the shape of the uterine cavity is normal.
-
Transvaginal Ultrasonography:
An ultrasound probe placed in the vagina allows the clinician to check the uterus and ovaries for abnormalities such as fibroids and ovarian cysts.
-
Ovarian Reserve Testing:
The most common test to evaluate ovarian reserve is a blood test for folliclestimulating hormone (FSH) drawn on cycle day 3. In addition to the FSH level, your physician may recommend other blood tests, such as estradiol, antimüllerian hormone (AMH), and/or inhibin-B, as well as a transvaginal ultrasound to do an antral follicle count (the number of follicles or egg sacs seen during the early part of a menstrual cycle).
-
Other Blood Tests:
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and prolactin levels are useful to identify thyroid disorders and hyperprolactinemia, which may cause problems with fertility, menstrual irregularities, and repeated miscarriages
-
Hysteroscopy:
Hysteroscopy can help diagnose and treat abnormalities inside the uterine cavity such as polyps, fibroids, and adhesions (scar tissue).
-
Laparoscopy:
Laparoscopy is useful to evaluate the pelvic cavity for endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, and other abnormalities. Laparoscopy is not a first line option in the evaluation of a female patient. Because of its higher costs and potential surgical risk, it may be recommended depending on the results of other testing and a woman’s history, such as pelvic pain and previous surgeries.

Frequently Asked
Questions
-
How common is infertility?
An estimated 1 in 10 women between the ages of 15 and 44 have trouble conceiving.
-
What are the types of infertility?
Types of infertility include:
- Primary: A woman who was never pregnant and who can’t conceive after one year of not using birth control.

-
When should you seek help for infertility?
Infertility is found in both men and women and it affects nearly an equal number of men and women. Approximately one-third of infertility is attributed to the female partner, one-third is attributed to the male partner and one-third is caused by a combination of problems in both partners. However, about 20 percent of infertility cases remain “unexplained” even after a full diagnostic work-up.
-
Is infertility a “women’s problem”?

Approximately 9 out of 10 couples get pregnant after undergoing fertility treatments. Success rates vary depending on the cause of infertility, the couple’s ages and other factors.
