TRYING TO CONCEIVE WITHOUT SUCCESS? What Should You Investigate First?

Trying to conceive without success? The next step shouldn't always be to jump straight into treatment. Sometimes, the most important first step is finding out why. Fertility challenges can arise from either partner or from a combination of factors. Knowing what to investigate, and when, can prevent unnecessary delays and help determine the treatment that is actually appropriate. Dr. Kenneth Egwuda , Consultant OBGYN and Reproductive Medicine & ART Specialist discusses the essential fertility evaluation for couples trying to conceive - from assessing ovulation and ovarian reserve to the uterus, fallopian tubes, semen analysis and other investigations where indicated. https://www.youtube.com/live/xB2weSq7_UA?si=_oHNxx5p5MBfYYSU
