Unexplained infertility is said to be as infertility that is idiopathic – it means the cause of infertility remains unknown even after infertility diagnosis tests. The test includes semen analysis in men and assessment of ovulation and fallopian tubes in women. Nearly 30% of all infertility cases are diagnosed as unexplained infertility.
Unexplained infertility is common and is observed in one out of four fertility challenged couples. There will be no reason why they can’t conceive. However, unexplained infertility does mean that you can’t have a baby forever. Still, there is hope when you consult the right fertility expert and get proper fertility treatment.
Studies say that a lot of couples conceived and gave birth even without any fertility treatment by just following the advice of fertility experts.
Is Infertility Unexplained?
Unexplained infertility is always a controversial topic. The definition itself says that the diagnosis test can’t explain the reason. The doctor might say that test results are positive and yet you’re not able to conceive.
In some cases, one fertility specialist might say your case as unexplained, but the other may say that you haven’t been evaluated thoroughly. Maybe he is right. Unexplained infertility condition can be confirmed only after a complete fertility evaluation of problems in both the male and female partner. It may be right when possible causes of infertility are eliminated.
An unexplained Infertility diagnosis can be justified when;
- a woman’s ovulation process is perfect and normal
- a woman’s ovarian reserves are good enough
- a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) shows an open and healthy fallopian tube & uterine cavity
- the semen analysis of male partner is completely normal
- PCOS problem has been treated successfully
If any of the above is not assessed, then the diagnosis of unexplained infertility is not truly unexplained. Some fertility experts prefer laparoscopy to rule out endometriosis because it can’t be diagnosed with blood tests or ultrasound.
