Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it is possible to conceive naturally with diminished ovarian reserve, especially in younger women and those without additional fertility issues. However, early evaluation and medical guidance are important to maximize the chances of natural conception.

Balancing hormones to improve fertility varies from person to person. The time required may range from a few weeks to several months, depending on the type and severity of the imbalance, underlying health conditions, lifestyle factors, and medical treatment plans.

Common symptoms of hormonal imbalances in female infertility include irregular or heavy periods, loss of libido, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, hair loss, acne, and vaginal atrophy. These signs may vary in intensity based on the individual’s health and hormone levels.

A variety of tests are used to diagnose hormonal imbalances, including blood hormone panels, anti-Mullerian hormone tests, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, prolactin levels, testosterone and DHEA-sulfate levels, insulin and glucose testing, pelvic ultrasound, Hysterosalpingogram (HSG), Progesterone Challenge Test, and Genetic Testing.

Hormonal imbalances can disrupt the development and release of healthy eggs, impact the timing and regularity of ovulation, and lead to irregular or missed menstrual cycles. This interference can significantly reduce the chances of conception.

Yes, in most cases, hormonal imbalances related to infertility are reversible. Once the underlying cause is identified, fertility specialists can provide treatments that restore hormonal balance and improve the chances of conception.

Yes, dietary and lifestyle changes can play a significant role in correcting hormonal imbalances. A well-balanced diet, regular exercise, weight management, and reduced stress levels can help restore hormonal health and enhance fertility naturally.

Depending on patient response and clinic procedures, the ICSI procedure usually takes four to six weeks from ovarian stimulation to embryo transfer.

Yes, ICSI is an effective way to treat unexplained male infertility conditions, especially those that involve low sperm counts, poor sperm motility, or sperm with unusual shapes that might make it difficult for them to naturally fertilize an egg.

After a comprehensive evaluation that includes hormone testing, semen analysis, ovulation tracking, and imaging of the reproductive organs, unexplained infertility is diagnosed when no obvious cause is identified despite normal results.

Unexplained female infertility can be caused by undiagnosed problems with egg quality or release, modest hormone imbalances, or reproductive system abnormalities that are not detectable by routine testing.

Age is a major factor in unexplained infertility because female fertility decreases with age, especially after the age of 35, as a result of decreased egg quality and quantity. Even in cases where there are no other obvious causes of infertility, this may result in problems conceiving. As men age, their sperm quality may also decline, which adds to their infertility problems.

If small amounts of scar tissue or adhesions obstruct your fallopian tubes, your doctor can perform laparoscopic surgery to remove the obstruction and open them. However, if the blockage is severe and caused by extensive scar tissue or adhesions, it may not be possible to remove it through laparoscopy. In such cases, other fertility treatment options may need to be considered.

The typical recovery period following laparoscopic surgery is between 2 and 4 weeks, although this can vary depending on your specific condition. It is important to consult with your doctor before trying to conceive. Planning a pregnancy should only be done once your body has fully healed from the procedure and your doctor confirms it is safe to proceed.

Before undergoing laparoscopic surgery, you should inform your doctor about any prescription or over-the-counter medications you are taking. Your doctor will guide you on how to manage them before and after the procedure. Typically, you will need to avoid eating or drinking for at least 8 hours before surgery. Since the procedure is often performed under general anesthesia, it’s also advisable to have a family member or friend accompany you, as you may feel drowsy afterward.

During your first session, your counsellor will take the time to understand your unique condition, concerns, and goals. They will provide you with a safe and non-judgmental space to express your feelings and emotions. Together, you will explore coping strategies, decision-making processes, and potential next steps in your fertility journey.

Infertility counsellors may use various techniques, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and couples counselling. The methods will depend on your individual needs and the counsellor’s approach.

Counselling can provide numerous emotional benefits for couples dealing with fertility problems, including:

• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Improved communication and intimacy
• Increased feelings of empowerment and control
• Healthy coping mechanisms for grief and disappointment
• A sense of support and understanding

Yes, counselling can be highly beneficial for couples experiencing relationship conflicts related to infertility. A counsellor can help you and your spouse communicate more effectively, navigate disagreements, and strengthen your emotional connection during this challenging time.

The frequency of counselling sessions will depend on your individual needs and the counsellor’s recommendations. Some couples may benefit from weekly or bi-weekly sessions, while others only need occasional check-ins. Your counsellor will work with you to determine the appropriate schedule.

Yes, there are specific lifestyle changes that both women and men should make to improve their fertility as a couple. These include regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and consuming a balanced diet rich in fruits, lentils, and dairy. These changes promote hormonal balance and reproductive health, thereby improving the chances of conception.

Supporting your partner through IVF involves being emotionally available and physically present. Simple gestures like holding hands, listening empathetically, and being involved in appointments can make a big difference. Encouraging open conversations and seeking professional fertility counseling can also provide added support during this challenging journey.

Infertile couples may encounter various challenges, including emotional stress, depression, and social stigma. Relationship strains, such as misunderstandings or even divorce, can occur. In some cases, women may face violence, anxiety, or low self-esteem. It’s crucial for couples to seek support and communicate openly to cope with these difficulties together.

Comforting your wife after a failed IVF cycle involves emotional support and compassion. Acknowledge her feelings, offer validation, and create a safe space for her to express herself. Allow her time to grieve and process the experience. Encourage her to seek professional help if needed, and assure her that you’re in this journey together.
