Infertility Treatment Between Couples

According to studies, 12 percent to 15 percent of couples cannot conceive after one year of having unprotected intercourse, and after two years, 10 percent of couples have still not produced a live-born child.

Approximately 40 percent to 60 percent of couples younger than 30 years in general good health are successful in conceiving during the first three months of attempting.

Fertility falls with age in both men and women, although the effects of aging are far more pronounced in female fertility. 

According to research, women in their 30s are roughly half as fertile as they were in their early 20s and their chances of conceiving decrease dramatically beyond the age of 35. Male fertility falls with age but at a slower pace.

• Men and women of reproductive age have had fertility issues at a rate of around 9 percent and 11 percent, respectively.
• One-third of infertile couples have an issue with the man’s ability to conceive.
• One-third of infertile couples cannot identify the source of their infertility, or both the male and the woman share the issue.
• The difficulty with one-third of infertile couples is that the woman is having trouble becoming pregnant.

Patients battling infertility often feel as if they are racing against the clock, as every month that passes without a positive pregnancy test is another month that has been lost to them.

The most crucial step is to diagnose your infertility’s underlying reason or causes accurately. It takes collaboration between you, your spouse, and your fertility expert to identify the underlying motivations of infertility. You will need to answer questions and undergo tests to narrow down the options and decide the most effective infertility therapy to address them.

Infertility therapy may also help those worried about genetic problems in their family. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis helps guarantee that only healthy embryos are utilized for IVF. Preimplantation genetic screening, or PGS, may detect chromosomal abnormalities that cause miscarriage or developmental issues in embryos.

1. Have you received testing to ensure that your reproductive organs are in good working order and that your fallopian tubes are open?

   When the fallopian tubes are obstructed, the only way to get pregnant may be via IVF, which is fertilizing the eggs outside of the body.

2. Has your boyfriend had a sperm study to identify whether or not sperm issues are a significant factor in your failure to conceive a child?

   Male factor infertility may significantly impact the choice of infertility therapy that is most likely to be beneficial for a couple. An IUI cycle may be sufficient treatment for male factor infertility, depending on the kind and severity of the condition. IVF with ICSI may be necessary to achieve pregnancy in the most challenging situations.

3. Have you had blood tests done to check your hormone levels and ovarian reserve? If not, you should.

   Women with limited ovarian reserve (both in terms of quality and number of eggs) may benefit from ovarian stimulation medication, or donor egg IVF may be the best option in some instances.
