OVULATION STUDY

About OVULATION STUDY

Ovulation Study identifies possible causes of female infertility?

Getting pregnant and carrying a pregnancy to term are actually very complicated processes. Many things can go wrong during these processes to lead to infertility. Briefly explained are some of the common causes of infertility in females. A woman who is having difficulty getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to term should talk with her health care provider about possible treatments.

Failure to Ovulate

A healthcare provider may recommend a semen analysis for:

The most common overall cause of female infertility is the failure to ovulate, which occurs in 40% of women with infertility issues. Not ovulating can result from several causes, such as:

  • Ovarian or gynaecological conditions, such as primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

  • Aging, including "diminished ovarian reserve," which refers to a low number of eggs in a woman's ovaries due to normal aging

  • Endocrine disorders, such as thyroid disease or problems with the hypothalamus, which affect the hormones produced by the body so that there might be too much or too little of a hormone or group of hormones

  • Lifestyle and environmental factors

Problems in the menstrual cycle

Problems with the menstrual cycle, the process that prepares the female body for pregnancy, can lead to infertility. The menstrual cycle includes several phases, and problems at any one of the stages can lead to difficulty getting pregnant or to infertility.

Failure of an Egg to Mature Properly

Eggs may not mature properly for a variety of reasons, ranging from conditions such as PCOS, to obesity, to a lack of specific proteins needed for the egg to mature. An immature egg may not be released at the correct time, may not make it down the fallopian tubes, or may not be able to be fertilized.
