Houston Infertility Treatment
Infertility
Infertility affects more people than most realize. Hart Fertility Clinic offers personalized Houston infertility treatment to help you understand what is happening and what can be done about it.
What is Infertility?
This condition is defined by an individual's inability to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sex, shortened to six months when the female partner is over 35. Roughly one-third of cases trace back to males, another third to females, and the remainder involve both individuals or no identifiable cause.
What Are the Types of Infertility?
Infertility falls into two main categories: primary and secondary. Primary describes patients who have never achieved a successful pregnancy. Secondary applies to those who conceived before but now struggle to do so again. Both benefit from early evaluation and a structured Houston infertility treatment plan.
What Are the Symptoms and Causes?
The most recognizable sign of infertility is simply the inability to conceive within the expected timeframe. Other indicators vary widely depending on the underlying cause and may affect one or both partners. Common contributing factors include:

Female factors:
- Ovulation disorders such as PCOS.
- Endometriosis or uterine fibroids.
- Fallopian tube blockage.
- Being significantly underweight.
- Age-related decline in egg quality.

Male factors:
- Low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology.
- Varicocele, a malformation of a scrotal vein
- Smoking, alcohol, or drug use.
- Obesity or certain medications.
- Untreated sexually transmitted infections.
How is Infertility Diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with a physical exam and medical history review for both partners. Testing is then ordered based on individual findings:
Semen analysis covering count, motility, and morphology.
Ovulation testing through blood work.
Hormone panels including FSH, LH, AMH, and estradiol.
Ultrasound to assess ovarian reserve and uterine structure.
HSG or saline sonogram to evaluate fallopian tubes.
Genetic carrier screening when indicated.
How is Infertility Treated?
Treatment depends on the underlying cause and is tailored to each patient. Hart Fertility Clinic builds every treatment plan around your specific diagnostic results:
Medication to stimulate or regulate ovulation.
IUI for mild male factor or unexplained cases.
IVF for complex situations or when other approaches haven't worked.
Donor eggs or sperm when clinically indicated.
Surgery for structural issues such as fibroids or blocked tubes.
Assisted hatching or genetic screening as part of an IVF cycle.
