Infertility
Infertility globally affects approximately 10-15% of couples.1
The Women Like Me website aims to help you make sense of various gynecological conditions and symptoms, which may have a negative impact on your life.
There are several reasons for infertility. The root cause for it might lay in the woman, in the man or in both.2
A gynecologist or IVF specialist can help to diagnose the reason and offer different treatment options.
In some cases the reason for infertility is not known despite different examinations.
In these cases an IVF specialist should be seen, in order to achieve pregnancy. The success will depend on several factors like age, weight, or other diseases.3
Don't neglect your own well being
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms make time to consult your doctor or healthcare professional.
