Possibly the MOST frustrating diagnosis when you are trying to conceive, unexplained or 'sub' fertility can really mess with your head as you just want to have something you can focus on. It's a label that we give people who haven't conceived within a reasonable timeframe and whilst it doesn't necessarily mean that there's a problem if there might be a number of things that are preventing a pregnancy.
In this episode Dr Jane Stewart, NHS Consultant in Reproductive Medicine in NE England and one of 143 experts is answering more of your questions over at fertially.com who we've worked with to make this bitesize chunk for you.
Jane explains what investigations can be done to try and find out what could be the problem, including explaining how it's important to consider.
Here you'll learn:
- Length of time a couple have been trying
- Making sure they're having reasonably regular sex
- The menstrual cycle of the woman needs to be considered
- Sperm Health - so tests need to be done
- Making sure the woman's fallopian tubes aren't blocked
