GETTING STARTED
Causes of Infertility
Understanding what may be preventing pregnancy is a vital first step when trying to conceive. Identifying male and female fertility factors – whether lifestyle-related or medical – allows you to access the right support and take informed steps toward parenthood.
Why Diagnosis is Key
A fertility diagnosis is essential when struggling to conceive, as it helps identify female, male or combined fertility issues affecting pregnancy chances.
Early fertility testing can reveal whether lifestyle changes, medical treatment or IVF may be needed, allowing you to take the right next steps sooner and improve your chances of conception.
Key Fertility Issues Affecting Women
Common female fertility issues include ovulation disorders, PCOS, endometriosis, hormonal imbalances and age-related egg quality - all of which can impact the ability to conceive.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a common cause of infertility, affecting ovulation, implantation and causing inflammation in reproductive organs.
PCOS
PCOS affects hormone balance and ovulation, causing irregular cycles and making conception more difficult without treatment.
Fibroids
Fibroids can impact fertility by altering uterine shape, affecting implantation and increasing miscarriage risk for women.
Thyroid
Thyroid disorders can disrupt hormones, ovulation and menstrual cycles, reducing fertility and increasing pregnancy complications risks.
Low Progesterone
Low progesterone may prevent implantation and early pregnancy support, affecting cycle length and fertility outcomes negatively.
Implantation Failure
Implantation failure occurs when embryos cannot attach to the uterus, linked to uterine or hormonal factors.
