Men and women are affected equally by infertility issues. Some of the most common fertility issues include:

• A long menstrual cycle of over 35 days
• A short menstrual cycle of less than 21 days
• Missing or irregular periods
• A low sperm count

Your fertility doctor will perform testing to determine the cause of infertility. Then, your doctor will develop a customized treatment plan, to help you and your partner have a baby.

There two main pathways of fertility treatment, which are:

• Restoring you and your partner’s fertility
• Using medical techniques to assist with reproduction

If the goal is to restore fertility, your fertility treatment may include medications like these:

• Clomiphene citrate, to stimulate your ovaries to ovulate
• Gonadotropins, to stimulate your ovaries to increase production of eggs
• Metformin, to treat infertility caused by insulin-resistance
• Letrozole, to induce you to ovulate
• Bromocriptine, to treat ovulation problems resulting from excess pituitary function

If the goal is medically assisted reproduction, your treatment may include:

• Surgery, to remove growths which are preventing pregnancy
• Surgically reversing a tubal ligation or to open blocked fallopian tubes
• Intrauterine insemination (IUI), which involves placing sperm inside the uterus
• Assisted reproduction (IVF), which involves combining the sperm and eggs in a laboratory setting and then implanting the embryo into the uterus
