Unexplained Infertility

It is believed that 10 to 20 percent of couples who are having fertility problems will receive a diagnosis of unexplained infertility. In simple terms, unexplained infertility means that after running fertility tests, the physician cannot find a medical cause for a patient's infertility. This does not necessarily indicate that there is no medical reason for the infertility. It only suggests that the medical causes of infertility that the tests specifically targeted are not the cause of the couple's infertility.

What is Your Next Option?

The diagnosis of unexplained infertility can be very frustrating for couples since not having a cause makes it difficult to find treatments for improving fertility. Many times additional tests may determine a cause of the infertility. There are cases, however, where there may be no real fertility problems, there may be external factors inhibiting conception including stress and personal habits, or the age of the couple may be the only cause of the infertility.
