Unexplained infertility is a condition in which fertility testing hasn’t found a reason for you and your partner not being able to conceive. Both partners must be tested via fertility evaluations. Up to 30% of infertility cases are due to unexplained infertility.

Your provider completes a physical exam, checks your vital signs, and reviews the results of your lab work or other diagnostic tests like ultrasound, hysteroscopy, or laparoscopy. You or your partner might undergo ovarian reserve testing or a semen analysis.
Your personalized unexplained infertility treatment plan may consist of:
Lifestyle changes your provider may recommend include not smoking or drinking alcohol, altering your medications or dietary supplements, eating nutritious foods, maintaining an ideal weight, staying active, minimizing stress, and limiting (or avoiding) caffeine.
