Take time to plan
Before you decide to begin infertility treatments, it’s important to set out your plan and goals. It’s important to know how far you are willing to go with treatment – are you prepared to try medications but not ready to try surgery? Your opinion may change as you are going through your treatment, but it is still important to have at least a general idea of what your boundaries will be.
Fertility treatments can also be expensive, and under the Affordable Care Act they are not covered by many insurance plans. It’s important to think about costs – both emotional and financial – of infertility treatments.There are several female-oriented treatments
Fertility problems may be dependent on conditions that affect women or men. Sometimes, the cause is not known at all. Female-oriented treatments depend on what the condition is that is preventing the woman from conceiving. They may treat:- Problems with ovulation, such as Clomiphene, Letrozole or Metformin
- Blocked or damaged Fallopian tubes, which may require surgery
- Endometriosis, which may be treated with laparoscopic surgery
- Unexplained infertility, which may include inseminations, IVF, hormone treatments, letrozole or Clomiphene
There are also several male-oriented treatments
Male infertility is responsible for as much as fifty percent of couples having difficulty conceiving. When this is the case, it is often due to issues in the man’s ability to produce healthy semen and sperm. Depending on the precise reason, several male-oriented treatments are available, including:- Artificial insemination
- Weight loss/ healthy diet
- Supplements
- In vitro fertilization (IVF)
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection
