Infertility

If you're having difficulty conceiving after trying for some time, know that you're not alone, infertility affects many couples, and there are often ways we can help. There are many possible causes, including:

• Problems with ovulation
• Structural issues in the uterus or fallopian tubes
• Hormonal imbalances
• Genetic factors
• Male factor infertility, such as low sperm count or quality

In some cases, the exact cause cannot be identified, even after thorough testing. This can be frustrating, but it doesn't mean treatment options aren't available. Our team at The Women's Group is here to walk alongside you, offering compassionate, personalized care every step of the way.

If you've been trying to conceive without success, it's completely understandable to feel discouraged or unsure of what to do next, and reaching out for support is a positive step. As a general guideline, women under 35 are typically encouraged to seek an evaluation after a year of trying, while women over 35 are encouraged to reach out a bit sooner, generally around six months, since fertility naturally changes with age. If you've experienced a pregnancy loss or recurrent miscarriage, you don't need to wait at all, our team is here to help you understand what happened and explore your options whenever you're ready.

There's no wrong time to reach out. Whether you're just starting to wonder about your fertility or have been trying for a while, The Women's Group is here to listen and help guide you through your next steps.

If you're navigating the uncertainty of trying to conceive, know that our team is here to help you find answers. The healthcare professionals at The Women's Group offer a variety of tests to better understand what may be affecting your fertility, always with care and clear communication along the way. Depending on your individual situation, this may include blood tests to check hormone levels, or ultrasounds and other imaging studies to evaluate the uterus and ovaries.

The Women's Group evaluates each patient's history carefully and thoughtfully to determine which tests will be most helpful for you specifically. Depending on the results, further testing or a referral to a fertility specialist may be recommended, and we'll walk you through what that means and what to expect every step of the way.

There are a number of fertility treatment options available, and our team at The Women's Group takes the time to understand your unique situation before recommending the path that's right for you. For example, patients dealing with ovulation problems may benefit from medications that help stimulate the ovaries, while patients with structural issues that affect conception may be helped by a surgical procedure to correct them. In some cases, a referral to an in vitro fertilization (IVF) specialist, or the exploration of options such as surrogacy, may be the best path forward.

Whatever your journey looks like, our team reviews your test results closely and takes time to discuss your options with you, so that together, we can determine the course of action that feels right for you.
