We have been trying to get pregnant for over a year and have been unsuccessful. What can be done?

Fertility problems occur in about 15% of the population. Approximately 35% of couples with difficulty conceiving have more than one problem. A full evaluation is important to find out the exact cause of the fertility problem. Areas targeted for evaluation include a sperm count, ovulation, an analysis of the Fallopian tubes, and various hormones. After evaluation, a treatment plan can be instituted. Sometimes a referral to an infertility specialist may be necessary.
