What is infertility and when should I seek help?
Infertility is the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (or 6 months for women over 35). You should consult a fertility specialist if conception does not occur within this timeframe.
How does age affect fertility in women and men?
Women’s fertility generally declines after age 35 due to reduced egg quality and quantity. Men’s fertility also declines gradually with age, affecting sperm count and motility.
Can lifestyle changes improve my fertility naturally?
Yes. Maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, reducing stress, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol can positively impact fertility.
How long should I try before consulting a fertility specialist?
For women under 35, try for at least 12 months before consulting a specialist. For women over 35 or those with known reproductive health issues, consult earlier—after 6 months of trying.
What challenges might patients face during fertility treatment?
Patients may experience emotional stress, physical discomfort, and lifestyle adjustments throughout the fertility treatment process
What is IVF and how does it work?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process where eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, fertilized with sperm in a laboratory, and then transferred into the uterus to achieve pregnancy.
What happens during an embryo transfer?
During an embryo transfer, one or more embryos are placed into the uterus using a thin catheter. This is a quick and painless procedure, usually guided by ultrasound.
What is ICSI and when is it used?
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a technique where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg. It is used in cases of severe male infertility or previous IVF failure.
Can frozen embryos be used in later cycles?
Yes, embryos can be frozen and stored for future use. Frozen embryo transfers allow patients to attempt pregnancy without undergoing a full IVF cycle again.
What is the role of genetic testing in IVF treatment?
Genetic testing checks embryos for inherited disorders or chromosomal abnormalities, improving the chances of a healthy pregnancy and reducing miscarriage risks.

Bring previous medical reports, blood tests, ultrasound scans, fertility history, and any relevant treatment records to help the doctor understand your condition.
