In general, it is appropriate to see a physician for infertility after 12
months of trying to get pregnant on your own. The appropriate amount of time
to try on your own can be longer, or shorter than one year. For example, if
you are only 25 years old and feel that you want to give it more time to occur
naturally you might try for another 6 to 12 months. You also might want to
seek medical help for fertility issues without waiting for a year of trying on
your own if you have a condition that is a known risk factor for infertility,
such as irregular menstrual cycles, endometriosis, previous tubal pregnancy,
PCOS - polycystic ovary syndrome, etc.

A healthy fertile woman has a uterus and ovaries with eggs. The uterus is
connected to the ovaries by two fallopian tubes. Her fertile partner makes
healthy sperm in his testicles which is then expelled in adequate numbers
during ejaculation. This is just the beginning - much more is required to
conceive a child.

IVF literally means "fertilization outside of the body". Sperm from the male
are combined with the female's eggs in a petri dish (round glass dish) where
fertilization occurs.
Sperm for IVF can be collected from the spouse, or in cases of severe male
infertility, from a donor or using intracytoplasmic injection (ICSI /IVF).
ICSI is often used to obtain sperm from men with very poor sperm counts or in
some cases, no sperm in the ejaculate. The eggs can also be from the spouse or
in cases of poor egg quality or ovarian failure from a donor.

Infertility affects about one in seven couples of childbearing age. Current
statistics show that about 35% will be female related, 35% will be male related,
20% will be a combined problem and the remaining 10% will be unexplained.
Consequently, it is crucial to treat both the woman and man when assessing the
infertility work-up phase of treatment.

In a normal menstrual cycle, just one egg/oocyte each month develops and
matures. The egg matures with a fluid filled structure on the ovary called a
"follicle" which can be seen on ultrasound. In an ART cycle, ovulation induction
medications (typically daily self-administered injections) are used to stimulate
the ovaries so that multiple follicles (eggs) will develop.

Pregnancy loss is a distressful experience. It is especially devastating when
the losses are repetitive. Until recently, there was little a couple could do if
the suffered from so-call unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss. New research,
however, has provided information on the causes of the heretofore unexplained
pregnancy losses resulting in the availability of treatment that enables women
to carry their pregnancies to term.
