Infertility ServicesHelping create families
-
Infertility is a condition which affects many couples. Many of the factors in reproduction are controlled by hormones. Several of these hormones are present in both women and men.
-
Treating infertility requires knowing its cause. Most often both partners of a couple have suboptimal fertility, therefore both must seek medical care. Infertility is typically diagnosed if a couple has not been able to conceive after one year of trying, or if the female is over 35 years old, after six months of trying. Infertility is frequently a result of some of these hormones being out of balance.
