Infertility is the medical term used to describe a couple’s inability to get pregnant after 12 months of trying to conceive. Conception is a complex process with many steps. A problem that affects one or more of these steps may cause infertility—which isn’t necessarily a woman’s problem. Difficulties getting pregnant may also result from partner-related infertility issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many factors can contribute to infertility, including:
- Disrupted ovulation: Also known as anovulation, this occurs when a woman’s ovaries fail to release an egg during a menstrual cycle. Many factors, such as PCOS, hypothalamic dysfunction, and premature ovulation insufficiency can contribute to ovulation problems.
- Swelling or blockage of fallopian tube: The fallopian tube carries the egg from the ovaries to the uterus. When swelling occurs, it can hinder the egg’s movement. Changes in the structure of your fallopian tube can arise from pelvic inflammatory disease or scar tissue caused by endometriosis.
- Uterine dysfunction: Uterine dysfunction from fibroids or endometriosis can disrupt the structure or function of your uterus and affect your ability to get or stay pregnant.
- Menopause: A natural process that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years.
When you visit our fertility specialist in Fredericksburg, we will have a one-on-one session to get to know you and your goals. Dr. Uzochukwu will guide you through our process, ensuring you know what to expect.
Our doctor will perform comprehensive exams to discover the underlying cause of your infertility. We may give you an at-home ovulation test, conduct a blood test, or perform an ultrasound. These diagnostic tests will help us determine if ovulation is the root cause of your infertility.
If we rule out ovulation as a factor, we will move forward with other diagnostic tests such as a hysterosalpingogram or laparoscopy. With these tests, we can look for structural problems within the uterus and fallopian tubes.
At WeCare, we develop personalized treatment plans for patients based on the root cause of infertility, age, and preferences. Our options for treatment include:
- Medication to increase ovulation
- Surgery to correct structural abnormalities
- Reproductive assistance
We understand searching for the underlying cause of infertility can be a long emotional journey. As your fertility specialist in Fredericksburg, we can provide the guidance and support you need.
