Infertility in San Dimas, CA
If you have been unable to conceive after a year or more of regular, unprotected sex, you might be wondering about your fertility. If you are able to get pregnant but haven't sustained a pregnancy, you may also be considered infertile. Infertility issues can affect both men and women. In fact, about a third of infertility cases originate with the man and about a third with the woman. The other third can be due to a number of factors or an unknown cause.
Fertility evaluation
We can perform a detailed assessment of both your and your partner's fertility. For women, if you are not at a healthy weight, over the age of 35, or have endometriosis, these are all risk factors for trouble conceiving. But every patient is different so we do a thorough assessment that can include physical exams, sperm studies, ovulation tests, and ultrasounds. All these are used to assess your fertility and your chances of a successful pregnancy.
Infertility Treatment
When you are dealing with infertility in San Dimas, CA, you may still have options for conceiving. Your doctor may advise you to increase sexual activity, and some medications and surgeries are able to increase fertility in you or a partner. Assisted conception methods include using donor eggs and in vitro fertilization. These methods each have their own risk factors and levels of success vary. Your doctor can guide you through all your options and help you plan your future.
Infertility affects many women and couples and we are here to help. To make an appointment with Dr. Richard Williams of Williams Ob/Gyn & Associates, contact us in San Dimas, CA, at (909) 599-8677.
