What is Female infertility?
Infertility in women may be due to problems with ovulation, barriers to egg and sperm meeting, barriers to implantation, poor hormonal support of the conceptus, immune system irregularities or any combination of the above. Testing is done to help determine which of these factors are involved and how to proceed with treatment. Emotional ramifications of infertility: For some, receiving a label of “infertility” is a relief. The problems were not all in their head and knowing the problem is the first step to finding the solution. For others, being labeled “infertile” is simply painful. For both groups and all those in between, finding emotional support may be important. Some fertility clinics require counseling for couples undergoing the treatment of infertility.
