If pregnancy does not occur naturally

The causes of infertility do not always lie with the woman, but just as often with the man. In about 40% of cases, the reason for infertility is a combination of causes in both partners.

As a woman

• … you should generally be younger than 40 years of age.
• Your infertility cannot be solved with other treatment methods.
• Your uterus and at least one ovary are functional.
• You are vaccinated against rubella.
• You are HIV and hepatitis negative.

As a man

• … prerequisite number 1 is that you have sperm at all. If this is ensured, the further course of treatment depends on your sperm quality: if the quality is very poor, ICSI, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, may be a viable option.
• … you should generally be younger than 50 years old.
