Frequently Asked Questions
Which doctor should we see for infertility?
Start with a gynaecologist. A reproductive medicine (IVF) specialist helps with advanced treatment, and a urologist or andrologist evaluates the male partner.
Should both partners get tested?
Yes. Male factors contribute to a large share of infertility, so a semen analysis is usually done along with the woman's tests.
Is IVF the only option?
No. Many couples conceive with simpler treatments such as medicines to help ovulation or IUI. IVF is advised for specific causes or when other treatments do not work.
