There are many possible causes of infertility which can affect both men and women. For women, it can be a problem in the uterus, cervix and blocked fallopian tubes or endometriosis. In men, it can be due to low sperm count or obstruction to the passage of sperm. Infertility is on rise and medical researchers now recommend that couples who have been trying to conceive in the time frame of six month should seek help.
Here is what you can do first to conceive.

- Lifestyle Habits: Smoking or consumption of alcohol can have an adverse effect on chances of conceiving.
- Book a Consultation with your Gynaecologist: Consult your regular gynaecologist and take your partner along, they will suggest you with some tests and give you some pre-conceptional medication. Track your last six months of ovulation time period, list of medications that you use regularly, as some of the drugs can affect your fertility. Your doctor will refer you to a fertility specialist for further testing and discussion for further treatment, if any problem is detected in preliminary investigations.
At your initial consultation with a fertility specialist, you and your partner need to give a complete history of your health. You may have to undergo a few tests to assess your fertility reserve, ovulation pattern and normal function of your reproductive organ, the uterus and the ovaries. A semen analysis will also be done. A lifestyle assessment and weight management strategy might be suggested.

Ovulation Induction: It is one of the simplest and least invasive fertility treatments. It involves taking medication to induce egg growth and aid in ovulation. It can increase the chance of conceiving through timed intercourse. Ovulation induction is suitable for women whose cycles are irregular or those who have tried naturally but could not conceive with male factor being normal.
IVF: In-Vitro-Fertilization is one of the most common and widely known Assisted Reproductive Technology. In-Vitro Fertilization assists with fertilization, development and implantation and is one of the most common infertility treatments.
Initially in In-Vitro-Fertilization, mature eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilized in the lab. The formed embryo is then inserted into the uterus. In normal pregnancy an egg and sperm fertilize inside the woman’s body. If the egg fertilizes it gets attached to the lining of the uterus and grows into a baby.
IUI: IUI or Intrauterine Insemination treatment is the most commonly used assisted reproductive procedure. IUI treatment is a fertility treatment that involves injection of sperms into the uterus to aid fertilization. The main goal of IUI is to increase the number of sperms that reach the fallopian tube and thereby increase the chance of fertilization. IUI is actually the first course of treatment when medication and natural ways to conceive don’t succeed. It is actually recommended to couples with mild to moderate decreased sperm count or motility and for women who don’t ovulate regularly, for couples with “unexplained fertility”.
