It was thought years ago that if a couple were unable to conceive that it was the woman's fault. This is not the case. It has been found that the causes of infertility are about equal in men and women. Obviously different reasons for infertility due to different functions of the reproductive systems but both systems do malfunction and have problems. For female infertility, several different approaches can be used.



After being tested to check and see what the problems are there are a couple different things you can consider. If your egg production is down or simply not there you can use an egg donor. The eggs can be fertilized by your partner's sperm or a sperm donor and placed into your uterus called uterine insemination.

Sometimes it may be a hormone imbalance, which can sometimes be treated easily. You will want to try to least expensive things first of course. They normally are checking for estradiol (E2) and follicle stimulating homone (FSH). Some offices start by doing a sonohystogram first, which is a special ultrasound. However, talk to your doctor about all of the options available in order to choose the one that is best for you.

Unknown Infertility

If you have had all the prior tests done and it is still unknown, why you are unable to conceive then your doctor may recommend a minor surgery done to help find the cause of your female infertility. This might uncover underlying conditions that may not otherwise be seen.

Support System

Having a good support system is vital to a positive and healthy mental state when dealing with any problems. You and your partner need to keep a good line of communication going at all times. Also keep lines of communication open at all times with your doctors. Ask questions and get answers. You may be recommended for counseling. Use that tool to help you through. Infertility is not an easy issue to deal with and you need a good support system to pull you through. One of the normal emotions to have is anger. Address this anger and voice it to your counselor and partner but do not dwell on it. You are not at fault because there may be medical conditions that you were not aware of. Getting the help you need to have a baby is the best thing for you to do. Sometimes in life, we just need to ask for help.
