Common Fertility Problems
There are a variety of fertility conditions and fertility problems that can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Our section on Fertility Problems is designed to provide you with an overview of common fertility problems, including causes, diagnosis, symptoms and treatment of these fertility conditions and how and why they can impact your and your partner's fertility.
Unexplained infertility can be a frustrating diagnosis but it doesn't mean you can't be successful in getting pregnant. Learn about your treatment options when diagnosed with unexplained infertility here.
Endometriosis is one such condition which can negatively affect your chances of getting pregnant, as can premature ovarian failure, in which follicles are lost or damaged.
Similarly, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is another condition which impacts your ability to get pregnant. This is because PCOS is caused by a hormonal imbalance; this hormonal imbalance in turn leads to irregular ovulation, including sporadic ovulation or even completely absent ovulation. Ovulation problems can be caused by stress or an unhealthy diet and can have serious impacts on your odds of getting pregnant. Anti-ovarian antibodies may also contribute to fertility problems.
Sperm allergy can occur in both men and women and can prevent couples from successfully getting pregnant. Learn about different treatment options and how to identify symptoms of sperm allergy in order to improve your chances of conceiving.
