These tests may include an analysis of the man s semen and the conditions of the woman s womb, fallopian tubes and cervical mucus. Some clinics have a routine set of investigations and you should ask what these include. If tests have been done during previous treatment you should ask whether it is necessary to repeat them. If you have already undergone investigations you should nevertheless enquire whether additional tests will be required by the clinic. Even after tests some infertility remains unexplained, but that does not mean that it cannot be treated successfully.
Treatments offered by clinicsDifferent causes of infertility require different treatments.
It is important for you to be confident that the treatment you are being offered by a clinic is appropriate for your type of infertility. Not all clinics offer all forms of treatment. While some specialise in one treatment, others provide a variety of treatments and may be able to offer the option of a different approach if one type of treatment is not successful.
