Infertility Treatments

When you meet with one of our reproductive endocrinologists, you’ll have a thorough discussion about your medical and sexual history. This gives us clues about the cause of your infertility—and helps us choose the right tests. 

Some of the items we’ll review include: 

• How long (and how frequently) you’ve been trying to get pregnant 

• Whether you have (or had) any medical conditions that can impact fertility 

• Whether you’ve had any medical treatments that can affect fertility, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy 

• If you’ve had problems with menstruation, such as irregular or absent periods 

For most patients, the key to getting pregnant is identifying the cause of your fertility challenges. Depending on your medical history, your provider may ask you to have one or more of the following tests: 

• Blood tests to check your hormone levels 

• A hysteroscopy to examine the uterus 

• A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) to look for blockages in the fallopian tubes  

• Male fertility tests, including semen analysis 

• Minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy) to check for signs of medical conditions like endometriosis 

• Ovarian reserve testing to estimate your egg reserves 

• Ultrasound imaging to look for problems with the uterus, ovaries, and more 

Once we understand why you’re having difficulty getting pregnant, we can recommend treatments that are most likely to help.  

Depending on your needs, you may get all the care you need from our reproductive endocrinology team.  

If you need advanced treatments that will improve your chances of conceiving, we may also refer you to another specialist. For example, our reproductive endocrinologists work closely with urologists to address male infertility. As a team, we’ll manage any underlying conditions or issues that are impacting your fertility.
