Once a diagnosis has been made, we have specific treatment plans that will overcome every cause of infertility.  While there are common elements, each plan is customized to the individual patient.

A vital concept to remember while undergoing treatments is to know what to expect.  For example, the normal ability for a couple to conceive approximates only 20% per month.  It is not as easy as most people think.  Only 1 in 5 couples are pregnant per month when everything functions correctly.  It takes an average of 3 to 6 months for most to conceive.  Thus, if a treatment effectively overcomes the barrier causing infertility, then we typically expect only 20% to get pregnant.  This is the reason why all treatments extend over a 3 to 6 month time frame.

The second concept that is equally important is to know when to quit a certain treatment plan.  Too many people quit too soon or extend ineffective treatments too long leading to further frustration and hopelessness.  It is crucial to see a skilled physician properly trained in treating infertility for the highest rate and least cost of achieving a successful pregnancy.
