Infertility Treatment For Women

Although a woman may need just one or two therapies to restore fertility, it’s possible that several different types of treatment may be needed before she’s able to conceive.

Stimulating ovulation with fertility drugs. Fertility drugs are the main treatment for women who are infertile due to ovulation disorders. These medications regulate or induce ovulation. Talk with your doctor about fertility drug options — including the benefits and risks of each type.
Intrauterine insemination (IUI). During IUI, healthy sperm is placed directly in the uterus around the time the woman’s ovary releases one or more eggs to be fertilized. Depending on the reasons for infertility, the timing of IUI can be coordinated with your normal cycle or with fertility medications.
Surgery to restore fertility. Uterine problems such as endometrial polyps, a uterine septum or intrauterine scar tissue can be treated with hysteroscopic surgery.

Fertility Treatment Is Not a Magic But Can Dramatically Improve Your Chances When Started In Time.

So, When Is The Good Time?

Speaking of fertility treatments – sooner the better, don’t delay seeking help thinking that fertility treatments will make up for the lost time. Unfortunately, fertility treatments are less successful with age.

One study looked at conception rates for women who start trying to conceive at age 30, 35, and 40, and then whether fertility treatments could make up for the pregnancies lost from delaying childbearing. They found that fertility treatments could only make up for half of the successful pregnancies lost when delaying conception until age 35 instead of starting at age 30, and only make up for 30 percent of the healthy pregnancies lost when women delayed starting at age 40 instead of at age 35. 

My practice confirms pretty much the same alarming numbers. So, if you made your mind about having a baby please hurry up! Being pro-active is a good strategy.

However, this system is a fine and complicated mechanism that unfortunately does not work like a charm at times. Nowadays, when a family faces problems of such kind, they lay big hopes on reproductive medicine.
