If you and your partner are struggling to have a baby, you’re not alone.

The inability to conceive comes as a surprise to most men and women. Couples who have difficulty to conceive may experience frustration however recent advances in medicine offer more hope for a successful pregnancy than ever before.

Infertility may result from an issue with either you or your partner or a combination of factors that prevent pregnancy. Fortunately there are many safe and effective therapies that significantly improve your chances of getting pregnant.

What are the symptoms of infertility?

The main symptom of infertility is not getting pregnant.

There may be no other obvious symptoms. Sometimes a woman with infertility may have irregular or absent menstrual periods. In some cases a man with infertility may have some signs of hormonal problems such as changes in hair growth or sexual function.

When to see a doctor?

You and your spouse should not delay seeking professional help, if there’s a specific problem causing infertility, the sooner you begin therapy, the closer you are to achieving your goal.

Our Specialist Gynecologists at Amber Clinics will provide you a reasonable idea of your chances of achieving pregnancy.

Women should talk with a doctor earlier however if they,

• Are age 35 or older and have been trying to conceive for six months or longer
• Have irregular or absent periods
• Have very painful periods
• Have known fertility problems
• Have been diagnosed with endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease
• Have had multiple miscarriages
• Have undergone treatment for cancer

Men should talk to a doctor if they have:

• A low sperm count or other problems with sperm
• A history of testicular, prostate or sexual problems
• Undergone treatment for cancer
• Small testicles or swelling in the scrotum
• Others in your family with infertility problems

The likelihood of achieving a natural pregnancy for a fertile couple is about 20% per each month. With the use of medications to correct ovulatory disorders, intrauterine insemination (IUI) and IVF procedures and surgery to correct anatomical problems, certain infertile couples have a chance of pregnancy similar to that of a fertile couple or even higher.

With patience, a positive attitude and the appropriate treatment many infertile couples can eventually have their target achieved.
