Infertility is not being able to become pregnant, despite trying for one year or having multiple miscarriages or stillbirths.
One-third of infertility problems are due to the man, and one-third of the time, the cause isn’t known or results from fertility issues with both partners. Treatment with Dr. Sassoon significantly increases your chance of becoming pregnant.
Infertility can happen to anybody, but some factors increase your risk. Examples include:
To reduce your risk of infertility, eat a healthy diet, get regular exercise, maintain a healthy weight, limit caffeine, and avoid smoking and drinking alcohol.
To diagnose infertility and its cause, Dr. Sassoon and his team review your fertility history, ask about symptoms you may have, and complete a physical exam – including a pelvic exam.
He might recommend blood tests, ultrasound, other imaging procedures, hysteroscopy, or laparoscopy. Your infertility treatment plan depends on what’s causing it and your preferences.
To treat the underlying cause of infertility and increase your chances of becoming pregnant, Dr. Sassoon might suggest:
Taking certain medications can stimulate ovulation if you have an ovulation disorder associated with infertility.
During intrauterine insemination or IUI, Dr. Sassoon can place healthy sperm directly into your uterus during the time of the month your body ovulates.
If you have a gynecological condition, such as endometriosis, uterine polyps, fibroids, or intrauterine scar tissue, Dr. Sassoon might recommend laparoscopic surgery to correct the problem and increase your chance of becoming pregnant.
During IVF, your provider retrieves multiple eggs, fertilizes them with your partner’s sperm in a petri dish, and implants embryos into your uterus. IVF and other fertility treatments may increase the chance you’ll have multiple pregnancies, such as twins or triplets.
