Infertility and your situation

Do you have questions about infertility? Do you think you’re infertile? Whatever your situation, your social status, your personal or religious orientation, ovo fertility can help you achieve your parental goal.

 

WHAT IS INFERTILITY ?

It is the inability to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sex or the inability to carry a pregnancy to term.

 

WHEN IS IT ADVISABLE TO CONSULT ?

We advise couples without a known medical or fertility problem to attempt getting pregnant by unprotected sex for a period of at least 12 months prior to a consultation for medical advice about infertility. A woman aged 35 and over should ask for an opinion after 6 months of unsuccessful attempts.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF INFERTILITY ?

The 3 main causes are (1) lack of ovulation, (2) tubal blockage or (3) abnormal sperm. There is often a combination of those three factors.

Advanced maternal age is also a problem. In 10% of cases, no obvious cause will be revealed with our exams. It is known as unexplained infertility. In Canada, 10-15% of couples, accounting for more than 300,000 couples suffer from reduced fertility or infertility.

I AM IN A MALE-FEMALE COUPLE

If you have tried unsuccessfully to conceive for over a year, it is time to call for an appointment with a fertility specialist. You will undergo several tests such as evaluation of your ovarian reserve, semen analysis, tubal patency tests, etc.

Then we will be able to determine the appropriate treatment, which may be simply taking medication, an intra-uterine insemination or in vitro fertilization.

CAN I GET PREGNANT BY INSEMINATION AFTER A TUBAL LIGATION ?

It is first necessary to perform a tubal reanastomosis. This surgery can be performed in some cases depending on the method of ligation that was used. This procedure is performed in a hospital and is only available in certain hospitals. Once this step is completed, pregnancy may occur naturally or by insemination depending on the results.

If reanastomosis is not possible, IVF treament could be an alternative.

Treatments
and services

CAN I GET PREGNANT BY INSEMINATION AFTER A VASECTOMY ?

You must first perform a vasovasostomy (reconnection) to try to become fertile. If the intervention is successful, fertilization can occur naturally or by insemination. If the reversal cannot be made, we must proceed by collecting sperm directly from the epididymis or testes by aspiration or biopsy (PESA/MESA/TESE) followed by in vitro fertilization with ICSI.
