  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/female-infertility/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20354313

  If you’ve been unable to conceive within a reasonable period of time, seek help from your doctor for evaluation and treatment of infertility. […] Infertility treatment depends on the cause, your age, how long you’ve been infertile and personal preferences. Because infertility is a complex disorder, treatment involves significant financial, physical, psychological and time commitments. […] Treatments can either attempt to restore fertility through medication or surgery, or help you get pregnant with sophisticated techniques. […] Medications that regulate or stimulate ovulation are known as fertility drugs. Fertility drugs are the main treatment for women who are infertile due to ovulation disorders. […] Fertility drugs generally work like natural hormones follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) to trigger ovulation. They’re also used in women who ovulate to try to stimulate a better egg or an extra egg or eggs.

  Once a woman is diagnosed with infertility, the overall likelihood for successful treatment is 50%. […] Fertility treatments are most likely to benefit women whose infertility is due to problems with ovulation.

[…] The first step of treating infertility in many cases is to treat the underlying cause of infertility. […] The most common medications used to treat infertility help stimulate ovulation. […] Clomiphene causes ovulation to occur in 80% of women treated. About half of those who ovulate are able to achieve a pregnancy or live birth. […] Letrozole is an oral pill that decreases the amount of estrogen a woman makes, stimulating her ovaries to release eggs.

  Female infertility: Treatments […] Great strides have been achieved in infertility therapy, particularly the development of assisted reproductive technology (ART). […] Once the cause of infertility is identified, therapy aimed at correcting reversible etiologies and overcoming irreversible factors can be implemented. […] The couple is also counseled on lifestyle modifications to improve fertility, such as smoking cessation, reducing excessive caffeine and alcohol consumption, and appropriate frequency of coitus (every one to two days around the expected time of ovulation). […] The patient should be involved in fertility treatment choices. These choices involve four major factors: effectiveness (eg, live birth rate), burden of treatment (eg, frequency of injections and office visits), safety (eg, risk of ovarian hyperstimulation and multiple gestation), and financial costs.

[…] The first appointment will provide information for the doctor to determine if further testing should be conducted. […] The pelvic ultrasound can diagnose such problems as an abnormally shaped uterus or cysts in the ovaries. […] Blood tests are done at different times during a womans menstrual cycle to measure hormone levels in the blood. […] Testing for ovarian reserve assesses the potential number of eggs a woman has in her ovaries. […] Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery in which the doctor inserts a camera and small surgical instruments into the abdominal cavity through a small incision in the belly button.

  Medicine that stimulates the ovaries is not recommended for women with unexplained infertility because it has not been found to increase their chances of getting pregnant. […] There are several types of surgical procedures that may be used to investigate fertility problems and help with fertility. […] If you have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a minor surgical procedure called laparoscopic ovarian drilling can be used if ovulation medicine has not worked. […] Intrauterine insemination (IUI), also known as artificial insemination, involves inserting sperm into the womb via a thin plastic tube passed through the cervix. […] In vitro fertilisation (IVF), is when an egg is fertilised outside the body. Fertility medicine is taken to encourage the ovaries to produce more eggs than usual.

[…] Candidates for gonadotropin therapy — There are two categories in which treatment with gonadotropins may be recommended: People who do not ovulate at all or who ovulate irregularly – In this group, gonadotropins are given as second-line treatment (after clomiphene citrate and/or letrozole) with a goal of stimulating the development of a single follicle and release of a single egg. […] People who ovulate normally – Gonadotropins may improve the chances of becoming pregnant in people who ovulate normally by stimulating the ovaries to produce more than one follicle. […] Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a simple procedure to place sperm directly into the uterus, which may increase the chances of getting pregnant.

  In addition, preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) permits NYU Langone doctors to identify embryos that have the greatest chance of creating a healthy pregnancy. Both egg freezing and PGS technologies can help circumvent issues related to age-related infertility. […] Intrauterine insemination, or IUI, is often recommended along with fertility medications. This procedure is always recommended when a woman does not have a male sexual partner and is using frozen, donated sperm in order to achieve pregnancy. […] Before this procedure, your doctor often monitors you for ovulation with blood tests and, sometimes, ultrasound to assure accurate timing of the sperm introduction. Alternatively, some women receive IUI using their natural ovulation cycle. During these treatments, optimal timing can be determined either by blood and ultrasound testing in your doctors office or by using a store-purchased ovulation monitoring kit.

[…] The most successful method for many women is IVF. […] IVF is one treatment option for infertility that increases the chance of pregnancy. In this procedure, the eggs (oocytes) are fertilized with sperm outside of the body. Then, the embryos are placed back into the uterus to achieve pregnancy. […] Additionally, if a man has a very low sperm count or other abnormal semen issues, doctors may recommend IVF with ICSI. This can increase the chance of pregnancy in cases where spontaneous pregnancy is unlikely.

  To become pregnant, a woman needs her ovary to release a viable egg during ovulation. When this doesn’t happen, we can attribute female infertility to ovulation dysfunction. If an egg is released only sporadically or not at all, as is the case with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), the ability to get pregnant is greatly impacted.

  One fifth of infertile couples are diagnosed with unexplained infertility, and these couples often achieve pregnancy using IVF. […] If significant tubal damage exists, the only fertility treatment options are surgical repair, which has a low success rate, and bypassing the fallopian tubes using IVF. […] Typically, male infertility factors involve low quantity or quality of sperm. In these cases physicians recommend IVF with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). […] Endometriosis can cause infertility but can be successfully treated using a combination of surgery and medication. If the first round of surgical or medical treatment fails, IVF is an appropriate next step. […] If a woman has a low number of eggs in her ovaries, the IVF process can be used to stimulate healthy eggs to develop, allowing the reproductive endocrinologist to collect mature eggs directly from the ovaries. In particular, younger women with low ovarian reserve who generally have good egg quality would have better success rates with IVF treatment.
