Tracking Ovulation
In some cases, poor timing is the main obstacle. To find out when you're ovulating (and determine the best time for sex), you can use over-the-counter ovulation tests. These detect a hormonal surge that occurs 12 to 36 hours before the ovary releases an egg. If the tests never yield a positive result, consult your doctor. Irregular ovulation accounts for about a third of all cases of infertility. |

Surgery for Blocked Fallopian Tubes
Some women have trouble getting pregnant because scar tissue prevents eggs from traveling down the fallopian tubes. This scarring can be caused by endometriosis, the overgrowth of tissue that lines the uterus, a history of pelvic infections, or previous surgeries. Laparoscopic surgery can remove scar tissue in the reproductive tract and boost the odds of getting pregnant for some women. |

I U I (Artificial Insemination)
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a popular option for a wide range of fertility problems. In this procedure, the sperm is placed directly into the woman's uterus while she is ovulating. This reduces the distance the sperm must swim to reach the egg. IUI is often used in combination with drugs that stimulate ovulation. It is less expensive and less invasive than IVF, but pregnancy rates are notably lower. |

IUI with Donor Sperm
If the man has few healthy sperm, IUI can be done using sperm from a donor. Most doctors recommend couples see a counselor before choosing this option, because they must be comfortable raising a child who is not biologically related to the father. IUI with donor sperm has a very high success rate in fertile women. It may take several tries, but cumulative pregnancy rates are over 80%. |

- Natural Ways to Boost Fertility
No matter where you are in your quest to start a family, you can boost your fertility with a few lifestyle changes. If you smoke, quit. Smoking reduces fertility and has a documented impact on pregnancy rates. In one study, men who stopped smoking saw their sperm counts climb 800%. Next, eat nutritious foods and ask your doctor about supplements. Research suggests certain vitamins and minerals can improve fertility in men and women.
- Moving On
If infertility treatments become a burden -- physically, emotionally, or financially -- it may be time to consider other alternatives. An infertility counselor can help you and your partner explore the options. Many couples are able to find satisfaction living without children. Others choose to build their family through adoption.
