The question is rarely answered by biology alone. Here are the medical factors worth checking before you start trying, and the non-medical conversations that often matter more.
You are not yet ready to act, but you want to know where you stand. Here is what the simplest fertility check looks like, and what it can and cannot tell you about your future options.
Intralipid infusion and IVIg therapy are two immune treatments offered for recurrent implantation failure or recurrent loss with suspected immune cause. Both have plausible mechanisms. Both have evidence that is more mixed than marketing suggests.
Reproductive immunology is the study of how the maternal immune system interacts with implantation and pregnancy. It is a real field with real findings. It is also a field where the gap between hypothesis and evidence is unusually wide.
Stem cell therapy in fertility is one of the most actively-researched and most over-promoted areas in reproductive medicine. The signal is real. Most of the noise is not.
Sperm freezing is among the simplest, most durable, and lowest-cost interventions in fertility medicine. Used for cancer patients before chemotherapy. Used for travelling partners and IUI/IVF logistics. Sometimes used electively. Worth knowing about regardless.
Egg freezing has moved from experimental to standard since vitrification became the norm around 2012. The technology now works reliably. The decisions around it - when, how many, what to expect - are where care matters.
Fertility preservation - freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos for later - is sometimes a medical necessity and sometimes a deliberate choice. The decision is rarely as simple as "the earlier the better."
The ERA tests whether your uterine lining is at the optimal day for embryo implantation, by analysing gene expression in a small biopsy. It was once promoted as universally beneficial. Current evidence is more specific.
A pregnancy comes with a sequence of genetic tests on a calendar set by the medical world. Knowing which test does what, and which results actually change anything, helps you read your reports without panic.
