It is important to note that fertility can be affected by various factors, and both men and women can contribute to fertility issues.

In some cases, despite thorough testing, the cause of infertility remains unknown. Infertility can be a challenging and emotionally distressing experience for individuals and couples. Seeking medical advice early in the process can help identify potential causes and guide appropriate treatment options. Fertility treatments may include medications to stimulate ovulation, intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), and various assisted reproductive technologies (ART).

It’s essential for individuals and couples facing infertility to work closely with healthcare professionals, such as reproductive endocrinologists, fertility specialists, or infertility counselors, to explore their options and make informed decisions about their fertility journey.

Origin LIFE’s STEP test stands out as the premier tool in the market, providing unparalleled insights into cases of unexplained infertility.

If a couple is experiencing difficulty conceiving, it’s generally recommended to consult a doctor if they have been actively trying to conceive through regular, unprotected intercourse for:
Under 35 years old: If the woman is under 35 years old, it’s often suggested to consult a healthcare professional after one year of unsuccessful attempts.
Over 35 years old: If the woman is 35 years or older, it is advisable to seek medical advice after six months of unsuccessful attempts due to the age-related decline in fertility.

However, there are situations where it’s appropriate to seek help earlier. For example, if a woman has irregular menstrual cycles, known reproductive health issues, or if the couple has reason to suspect fertility issues based on health history or other factors, it may be reasonable to consult a doctor sooner than the typical time frames mentioned above.

Remember that infertility can be caused by a variety of factors, and both men and women can contribute to fertility issues. Seeking early medical advice can help in identifying the underlying causes and exploring appropriate treatment options.

Male infertility denotes a man’s inability to induce pregnancy in a fertile female and is frequently linked to issues concerning sperm production, quality, or delivery. Key contributors include a low sperm count, diminished sperm motility, and atypical sperm morphology. Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive approach encompassing medical history, physical examination, semen analysis, hormonal testing, and, if necessary, genetic testing. Specialized tests may be conducted based on the doctor’s judgment for a more in-depth understanding, if deemed necessary.

Female infertility is characterized by a woman’s incapacity to conceive or sustain a pregnancy. This condition can arise from diverse factors impacting the reproductive system, encompassing challenges related to ovulation, the fallopian tubes, the uterus, or hormonal imbalances. The diagnostic process for female infertility entails a thorough assessment of the woman’s reproductive well-being. To diagnose female infertility, medical professionals initiate the evaluation with a detailed medical history, physical examination, ovulation tracking, hormonal testing, imaging studies, and, as needed, specialized tests. Origin LIFE is dedicated to this field, offering valuable insights to doctors through its exceptional diagnostic tests such as life STEP, ERMA, and EIT.

Optimizing the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy involves a holistic approach that encompasses various lifestyle and health considerations for both partners. For females, adopting a healthy lifestyle, understanding menstrual cycles, managing stress, avoiding harmful substances, and maintaining regular health check-ups are pivotal. Similarly, males can contribute by cultivating a healthy lifestyle, stress management, avoiding detrimental substances, and prioritizing routine health check-ups. Collectively, couples are encouraged to embrace a shared commitment to a healthy lifestyle, paying attention to the timing of intercourse, considering preconception supplements, minimizing exposure to toxins, and restricting caffeine intake. By incorporating these general recommendations, couples can proactively enhance their overall reproductive health and increase the prospects of a successful and healthy pregnancy.

The success rates of in vitro fertilization (IVF) can vary based on several factors, including the age of the woman, the cause of infertility, the quality of the reproductive materials (eggs and sperm), and the specific protocols and techniques used by the fertility clinic. Success rates are often reported as the percentage of live births per IVF cycle. Presently, the success rate of IVF in India stands between 35 to 40 percent. As a woman’s age advances, the likelihood of successful IVF decreases.
