Unexplained infertility Unexplained infertility is the diagnosis that fertility specialists give an individual or couple when fertility tests can not confirm a definitive cause for infertility. Unexplained infertility does not mean that there is not a cause for infertility; it simply means that the tests and examinations are not able to detect the reason an individual or couple is struggling to conceive. Unexplained infertility is the diagnosis in about 10-15% of infertility cases. When is unexplained infertility the diagnosis? Individuals and couples will receive an unexplained infertility diagnosis when the following conditions exist. The woman is ovulating regularly and has an appropriate ovarian reserve (antral follicle count). The female or female partner has at least one open fallopian tube (evaluated using a hysterosalpingogram). The male or male partner’s semen analysis is normal (including sperm count, shape and movement). Exams of the individual or of both partners did not result in the diagnosis of conditions or structural abnormalities that can cause infertility, such as uterine fibroids in women or varicoceles in men. Unexplained infertility treatment The inability to pin down a diagnosis with current fertility testing technology does not mean that a couple cannot get pregnant. In some cases, simple lifestyle changes or weight loss can improve the chances of pregnancy. Fertility treatments such as fertility medications combined with IUI (intrauterine insemination) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) can dramatically improve the chances of pregnancy for those struggling with unexplained infertility.
