  • WomenOvulation function, fallopian tube patency, uterine structure AMH、FSH、TSH、 Thyroid gland, vitamin D, etc

  • male partySemen analysis (sperm count, motility, morphology, etc.)

Common causes include:

  • Female: Polycystic ovary, ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, advanced age

  • Male: oligospermia, asthenozoospermia, azoospermia, testicular dysfunction, etc


2. 🧬 Mild infertility: try assisted ovulation or intrauterine insemination (IUI) first

  • For young couples with good ovarian function but unsuccessful pregnancies, American doctors tend to favorTry oral ovulation medication (such as Letrozole)+IUI first

  • Usually try 2-3 times, if unsuccessful, then enter the IVF stage


3. πŸ’‰ Moderate to severe issues: It is recommended to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) directly

In the following situations, American doctors may recommend direct IVF:

  • Blockage of fallopian tubes and severe endometriosis

  • Multiple IUI failures

  • Male severe oligospermia/asthenozoospermia/teratozoospermia
