An infertility evaluation is recommended when these apply:
- Unable to conceive after a year of trying, or six months if over 35

What is Female Infertility?
Female infertility refers to difficulty conceiving after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse, which can result from a range of hormonal, structural or other causes.
A Common Concern
A significant number of couples experience difficulty conceiving at some point.
Multiple Possible Causes
Ovulation issues, tubal blockage, fibroids and endometriosis are all common contributors.
Structured Evaluation
A step-by-step assessment identifies the likely cause in most cases.
Range of Treatment Options
From lifestyle changes to medication to assisted reproduction, options exist for most causes.
Common Symptoms
- Irregular or absent menstrual periods
- Very painful periods
- Known hormonal or structural conditions
- Difficulty conceiving over an extended period
What Increases Your Risk
A combination of medical, lifestyle and hereditary factors can increase the likelihood of this condition.
How It Is Diagnosed
A structured assessment confirms the diagnosis and helps guide the right treatment plan.
Clinical History
A detailed history of your cycle, past pregnancies and health conditions guides evaluation.
Hormone Testing
Blood tests assess ovulation and overall hormonal balance.
Pelvic Ultrasound
A scan evaluates the uterus, ovaries and checks for fibroids or cysts.
Tubal Patency Testing
Specialised tests check whether the fallopian tubes are open.
Treatment Approaches
Medical Care
- Ovulation-inducing medication
- Lifestyle guidance to support fertility
- Treatment of underlying conditions like PCOS or thyroid disorders
- Referral for assisted reproduction when appropriate
Surgical Care
Laparoscopic surgery may be used to treat conditions like endometriosis, fibroids or blocked tubes that are affecting fertility.
Treatment decisions are based on symptoms, test results, timing and overall health, not a single test.
Know When to Act
Recognising these signs early and acting promptly is important for the best outcome.
