Infertility affects countless couples who dream of starting a family. However, infertility doesn’t always mean that getting pregnant is impossible—it may simply mean that medical intervention is needed to help achieve conception. At Garden OB/GYN, we specialize in fertility solutions, offering expert care to individuals and couples who are struggling to conceive.
What is Infertility?
Infertility is defined as the inability to:
- Stay pregnant
- Get pregnant after one year
- Get pregnant after six months (if you’re 35 or older)
Because infertility can have multiple underlying causes, a comprehensive fertility evaluation is essential to diagnose the issue and determine the best course of action. Early intervention increases the chances of a successful pregnancy and helps reduce stress along the way.
What Causes Infertility?
For pregnancy to occur, an egg must be released from the ovaries, travel through the fallopian tubes, and attach to the uterus after fertilization. If there are any abnormalities in this process, conception can be difficult.
Infertility can be caused by:
- Endometriosis
- Uterine fibroids
- Uterine abnormalities
- Blocked fallopian tubes
- Pelvic inflammatory disease
Sometimes, infertility can also be linked to the size, movement, or shape of sperm in male partners. Since every case is unique, a professional evaluation is key to identifying the root cause.
If you’re struggling to conceive, you don’t have to go through it alone. At Garden OB/GYN, our fertility specialists provide personalized care tailored to your needs. From advanced diagnostic testing to treatment options like ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination (IUI), and in-vitro fertilization (IVF), we are here to support you every step of the way.
