Fertility Treatments If You Can't Get Pregnant

If you have had problems trying to get pregnant for less than a year, you should try regular exercise, eating healthy foods, reducing alcohol and maintaining a healthy weight. If you have been unable to get pregnant for a year or more, then you may consider fertility treatments. The correct treatment depends upon your age, the reason for your fertility problems and your medical history.

IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) & Fertility Medicines

IVF is a procedure where sperm and eggs are mixed outside the body and put back into the womb. This may work for fertility problems including severe sperm problems and unexplained infertility. You should contact your GP first who may be able to carry out a range of tests to find out the problem.

Other Fertility Treatments

IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is a treatment where there may be minor sperm problems. Sperm is placed into the womb using a fine plastic tube.

In some women blocked or scarred fallopian tubes can prevent pregnancy.In this instance fallopian tube surgery may be helpful.
