Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
Washed sperm placed in the uterus - a low-cost first step for trying to conceive. With ovarian stimulation, success improves over 3–6 cycles.
Medically approved by:
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
A single sperm into the egg - the standard for severe oligospermia or after micro-TESE. Not always needed: no benefit in non-male-factor cases.
Medically approved by:
In vitro fertilization (IVF)
Over 12 million children have been born since 1978. IVF success rates by age: 40–50% under 35, dropping steeply after 40. ICSI is used in two-thirds of cycles.
Medically approved by:
Ultrasound (Sonography)
No radiation - yet it reveals diminished ovarian reserve, endometrial thickness, and guides every step from ovulation monitoring to embryo transfer.
Medically approved by:
Libido and Erectile Dysfunction
52% of men aged 40–70 have some degree of ED - often signalling cardiovascular risk. Low testosterone, stress, and medications are treatable causes.
Medically approved by:
Testosterone Replacement Therapy and Fertility
TRT is a common - and preventable - cause of male infertility. Low sperm count from testosterone can recover with hCG or clomiphene as alternatives.
Medically approved by:
Does Age Affect Male Fertility?
Sperm counts dropped 51.6% since 1973 - DNA fragmentation rises with age. Advanced paternal age is now a recognized risk for IVF and offspring health.
Medically approved by:
Ovulation Induction
Anovulation causes 20–30% of female infertility. Letrozole is the first-line drug, with higher live birth rates than clomiphene for PCOS patients.
Medically approved by:
Unexplained Infertility
All infertility tests normal - yet trying to conceive hasn't worked. Up to 30% of couples hear this. IUI with stimulation doubles monthly odds.
Medically approved by:
Fertility and Age
Egg quality after 35 declines sharply - diminished ovarian reserve explains why IVF success rates drop with age. AMH levels help predict your window.
Medically approved by:
Hormonal Panel for Infertility
A blood draw can reveal infertility causes - from anovulation and low AMH levels to low testosterone. 25–40% of female cases are identified here.
Medically approved by:
Hysterosalpingography (HSG)
Blocked fallopian tubes cause 25–35% of female infertility - this outpatient X-ray with contrast dye reveals tubal blockage or hydrosalpinx fast.
Medically approved by:
Semen Analysis (Spermiogram)
The first male infertility test - measures low sperm count, motility, and morphology in one sample. WHO 2021 values set the current global standard.
