A thorough evaluation
of all factors contributing
to infertility are needed.
The following are essential:
1) Age is a significant factor
because after 35 the quality
and quantity of eggs decline
2) Sperm count and function
should be determined by a
semen analysis.
3) Ovulation problems are
important and should be
given prime consideration.
4) Fertilization can be difficult
or impossible due to tubal factors
or the inability of the sperm to
swim up through the cervical mucus.
5) Implantation issues can be
related to the endometrial lining or
the shape of the uterus.
Tomorrow we will look into these
factors and the tests related to them.
