The infertility specialist diagnoses and treats problems related to infertility. If you have been trying to get pregnant for a year (or six months and you are over 35) and natural conception is not working, a specialist can diagnose and treat your problems.

If AI (Artificial insemination) or IUI (Intrauterine insemination) haven't been successful then IVF is a effective treatment for those dealing with severe fallopian tube blockages, ovulation disorders, diminished ovarian reserve, poor egg quality, endometriosis or insurmountable sperm deficiencies.

The investigations usually required are the Semen analysis, Hormone testing, Blood test to determine the level of testosterone and other male hormones, Genetic testing, Testicular biopsy, and Imaging.

Usually, female infertility is caused by problems with ovulation. Without ovulation, there are no eggs to be fertilized. Some signs that a woman is not ovulating normally include irregular or absent menstrual periods.

The symptom of infertility is the inability to get pregnant indicated by a menstrual cycle that's too long (35 days or more), too short (less than 21 days), irregular or absent can mean that you're not ovulating.
