Common questions about Female Infertility at Femcare Fertility

Doctors may suggest hysteroscopy before the embryo transfer because it provides a direct view of the uterine lining, revealing issues that other tests, like ultrasounds, might miss. These issues can be Polyps and fibroids, Scar tissue, Uterine septa, and Endometrial abnormalities. These issues can often be treated during the procedure to create a healthier environment for the embryo to implant and grow, increasing the chances of IVF success.
If your reports are normal, then the first thing that you need to do is get your partner tested for infertility by getting a semen analysis done. Other reasons can be that intercourse isn’t timed correctly with ovulation, lifestyle factors like stress, being overweight or underweight, smoking, and alcohol can affect fertility, slight blockage to the fallopian tubes, scar tissue, or issues with the uterus that aren't detected in basic exams, endometriosis, and poor egg quality. Sometimes people with normal reports can also suffer from unexplained infertility. You should consult with an infertility specialist and get to the bottom of the issue. Femcare Fertility has been at the forefront of providing the best care and treatment of infertility in Pune and Kolkata. Book your free consultation today.
Yes, you can get pregnant with low AMH, but it can be a bit challenging and time taking so you should consult with an infertility specialist. Low AMH means low egg reserve, but it is not a symptom of infertility. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, timely ovulation tracking and guidance from an infertility specialist doctor can help you get pregnant naturally.
To increase your chance of getting pregnant naturally, eat a diet rich in leafy vegetables, fatty fish, and berries for folate, omega-3s, vitamin A & C, and antioxidants. Walnuts, tomatoes, citrus fruits, full-fat dairy, beans/lentils, and sardines/salmon can boost fertility.
Yes, a woman with PCOS can conceive naturally, but it may take longer and may require some lifestyle changes, like managing a healthy weight, regular exercise, a healthy diet, managing stress, and getting proper sleep can really improve your chances. Sometimes medical assistance can also help conceive early.

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive option that can remove fibroids, though it's important to consider your specific situation and discuss any queries with your doctor. You should discuss the laparoscopic procedure with your doctor to decide if it's right for you, especially if you have severe symptoms like heavy bleeding, pain, or bladder pressure. If you are planning to conceive, then most infertility specialists will recommend a laparoscopy to help you conceive. If you are looking for a second opinion, then book your consultation with the expert doctors at Femcare Fertility. Book your appointment today.
Natural pregnancy is possible if one tube is blocked, but if both tubes are completely blocked, then IVF is the only option to conceive. In IVF, the eggs are directly retrieved from the ovaries, bypassing the tubes and fertilised in the lab with your partner’s or donor sperm to create embryos. Consult the infertility specialist doctors at Femcare Fertility Pune or Kolkata to get your tubes checked and plan your journey towards parenthood today.
To have another baby, you can opt for tubal ligation reversal surgery or directly opt for IVF treatment. Consult with an infertility specialist to discuss about your current situation, like the type of tubal ligation, age factor and the chances of successful conception.
If you have your uterus removed, then you can’t carry a pregnancy yourself. You have the option to either go for surrogacy or adoption to become a mother.
There are no medications that can improve your AMH level significantly, but there are supplements like DHEA, CoQ10, Myo-Inositol, Omega-3s, and Vitamin D that can help improve your egg quality and ovarian response to fertility treatments. You should consult with your fertility doctor before starting to take these supplements on your own.
Yes, you can conceive naturally with a small uterus, but based on the uterus size, the outcome can differ. Many women with a slightly small uterus can conceive and deliver a healthy baby, but if your uterus is underdeveloped or very small that there are chances of miscarriage or premature birth, and you may require medical assistance, such as hormone therapy or assisted reproductive technologies like IVF. Visit your nearest Femcare Fertility branch to consult with a fertility specialist and plan your pregnancy journey today.
Yes, IVF can help a woman with repeated miscarriages. During IVF, an infertility specialist will take all precautions to prevent a miscarriage, and even the PGTA-guided embryo transfer can help. In the PGTA-guided embryo transfer, specialists generally screen embryos before implantation, which reduces the risk of a miscarriage caused by chromosomal abnormalities. It can also help address the underlying issues and enable treatments for hormonal imbalances, uterine abnormalities, or immune system problems.
Yes, you can become pregnant with one ovary, but the number of eggs produced by one ovary will be lower, which can directly affect your success rate. You should consult with an infertility specialist to get your fertility evaluation done. Femcare Fertility provided a personalised treatment plan to each patient based on their medical condition. Book your free consultation to start your journey.
Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) and Sonohysterography (SIS) are the two tests available to check tube blockage. HSG uses X-rays and a contrast dye, whereas SIS is an ultrasound-based test that uses saline solution. HSG and SIS are usually painless tests, but can sometimes cause discomfort and pain to some women. A surgical procedure called laparoscopy with a dye test can also be performed for a more direct assessment.
If your family has a history of genetic abnormalities, then you should consult with a specialist doctor for genetic counselling and consider preconception carrier screening. Based on the test results, the doctor may suggest some health supplements or medication to you. If you are planning to conceive, then IVF with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) can be the best option for you.
