What is unexplained infertility?Infertility may be said to be “unexplained” if:

The woman is ovulating regularly,

The man has normal sperm

Unexplained infertility is a frustrating diagnosis to receive. It is also a common one. Approximately one in four fertility challenged couples will be told there is no explanation for why they can’t conceive.

Unexplained infertility can only truly be diagnosed after a full and complete fertility evaluation of both the male and female partner. An unexplained infertility diagnosis may be justified if it has been shown that.

There are no serious uterine fertility issues. (Evaluated with a hysteroscopy.)

You are ovulating regularly.

Your fallopian tubes are open and healthy. (Evaluated with an HSG.).

Your ovarian reserves are good. (Evaluated with blood work and/or an antral follicle count.)

Your partner’s semen analysis is normal (including total count, sperm movement, and sperm shape.)

Couples with unexplained infertility may have problems with egg quality, tubal function, or sperm function that are difficult to diagnose and/or treat. Fertility drugs and IUI have been used in couples with unexplained infertility with some success. If no pregnancy occurs within three to six treatment cycles, IVF may be recommended
