Couples frequently ask their physician why they are not getting pregnant.

If several months go by without conception, the situation becomes extremely more frustrating.

With modern advances in the evaluation and diagnosis of reproductive disorders, we now know that the true incidence of unexplained infertility is much lower, probably on the order of five percent or less. At our Institute we find that less than 2% percent of patients have true. unexplained infertility. We can work with couples to identify any and all factors leading to reduced fertility.
