Infertility Other Possibilities Can Help When you want to get pregnant and can't, it can be upsetting. Whether the problem is with the woman's reproductive system, the man's, or both, there are several ways to evaluate your problem and determine the best form of treatment. If you've been trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant for one year, it may be wise to seek medical help. If you've been on the pill, wait a few months more.
Infertility can be due to a number of factors such as age, past diseases, or low sperm count.
It's easiest if a sperm count is done first. If it is normal, both partners should to be tested simultaneously. Sometimes a problem in one partner can be balanced by high fertility in the other. When you see the doctor, you'll discuss your complete medical and sexual history. You'll describe past diseases, surgery, pregnancies, abortions, and menstrual patterns.
