So, your medical diagnosis says that you are infertile. We understand it is devastating. But it is not the end of the road.

Most likely, your cause is due to endometriosis, ovulatory disorders, fallopian tube damage, cervical factor or even age. Sometimes, infertility is a result of unexplained factors. It is important to know and understand your fertilization cycle and its implications on conception, so that you feel secure and at ease at the time of treatment.

The menstrual cycle of a woman represents the fertilization phenomenon. The various stages that your body goes through every month, are the essential processes that determine fertility or infertility. Any flaw or malfunction of the organs can disrupt the cycle and can result in infertility.

You have a pair of ovaries, one of which produces an egg every twenty-eight days to thirty-six days. Each of these twenty-eight days represents the menstrual cycle. The female reproductive system must undergo the following processes for fertilization to take place.

• The ovary houses many follicles, each of which produces a single egg.
• The follicles must mature satisfactorily under the influence of the FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) and LH (Luteinzing Hormone) produced by the pituitary gland.
• While maturing, the follicles must produce another hormone called estrogen, which prepares the uterus lining (womb) for receiving the fertilized egg. (Implantation).
• The most mature and dominant follicle should release an egg in the middle of the cycle. In other words, you must ovulate without any disorders.
• The mature egg must travel through the fallopian tube where it might get fertilized with a sperm.
• The sperm must pass through the cervical mucus to fertilize the egg.
• The fertilized egg must get implanted into the uterus.

A defect or a problem in the fertilization stages in your reproductive system could spell out a root cause of infertility. In majority of the cases you would be diagnosed as infertile because of a defect in production of the sperm, obstruction of the transport of the sperm or in the quality of the sperm. Each of these encompasses various causes that you need to know. Knowing about them is a step towards treating infertility.

• The sperm must travel to the epididymis at the back of each testis, and must mature.
• Then the sperm should reach the seminal vesicles through the vas deferens.
• A good amount of seminal fluid (content of the seminal vesicles) should get mixed with the sperm and form the ejaculatory duct.
• The two ducts must then reach the prostrate gland.
• A potential quantity of semen should be expelled through the urethra and must be ejaculated through the penis along with the sperm..
• The testis must produce millions of sperms everyday.

Egg quality generally declines with advancing female age but it can occur at any age. Ovarian reserve is a measure of "egg quality" and is evaluated during the infertility workup (day 2 or 3 fsh or serum amh).

Diminishing ovarian reserve comes with age and sadly depletion comes with time.
