This list simply represents the most common factors when it comes to infertility, as there are other, less common problems that can affect your ability to become and stay pregnant. The only way to know for sure is to seek the counsel of one of the OB/GYNs at Suburban Women’s Specialists.
If you’ve been dealing with fertility problems, you probably understand how frustrating the condition can be. To start, both sides of the equation need to be considered, because infertility problems can originate with the male. If your partner has a medical checkup and isn’t the source of your infertility, then you need an evaluation, too.
To start, your doctor conducts a thorough analysis of your prior and current health and does some urine and blood testing. As part of your evaluation, the OB/GYNs at Suburban Women’s Specialists run tests to determine your ovarian reserve, and they check your fallopian tubes to make sure the problem isn’t caused by a blockage.
Rest assured, the doctors work tirelessly to find the root cause of the problem to make sure you receive the specialized help you need.
