What is Infertility?

Infertility impacts countless couples wanting to conceive every year. But infertility doesn’t always mean you can’t get pregnant and have the family you desire. It may simply mean that you might need a little medical intervention to help you achieve your goals. Not to worry, at Garden OB/GYN in NYC, Queens, and Long Island we specialize in conquering infertility.

Infertility is defined as being unable to:

Stay pregnant
Get pregnant after one year
Get pregnant after six months if you’re 35 or older

Because a number of underlying issues affect your fertility success, and even your pregnancy, it’s important to have a comprehensive evaluation to get to the root of your infertility as soon as possible.

What Causes Infertility?

To get pregnant, you must release an egg from your ovaries, which then travels down your fallopian tube and joins with a sperm. Then, this fertilized egg has to attach itself to the inner lining of your uterus. If there are any abnormalities or issues with any of these organs or processes, it can be challenging for you to become pregnant.

Infertility can be caused by:

Endometriosis
Uterine fibroids
Uterine abnormalities
Blocked fallopian tubes
Pelvic inflammatory disease

Sometimes, infertility may be linked to the size, movement, or shape of sperm. No matter what’s causing your infertility struggles, you can get the compassionate care you need at Garden OB/GYN.

Can I Get Treatment in NYC, Queens, and Long Island for Infertility?

Absolutely! At Garden OB/GYN in NYC, Queens, and Long Island, your dedicated practitioner runs one or more fertility screenings, such as ovulation testing, hormone testing, or a hysterosalpingography, to pinpoint the cause of your infertility.

Depending on your diagnosis, your infertility treatment plan may include any of the following medications to enhance your ovulation:

Bromocriptine
Clomiphene citrate
Follicle-stimulating hormones
Human menopausal gonadotropin
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs

These infertility medications are taken either orally or through injections, depending on the drug. As an alternative, if sperm quality is of concern, your practitioner at Garden OB/GYN may recommend an in-office intrauterine insemination (IUI) to insert your partner’s semen directly into your uterine cavity.
