Don't hesitate to find out where you stand.
The most common causes of female infertility
There are a number of causes that can affect female fertility. The most common include:
Ovarian dysfunction and other hormonal disorders
Absent or irregular menstruation are signs of dysfunction of the ovaries, pituitary gland, central nervous system, or thyroid gland. In rare cases, premature ovarian failure may occur.
Endometriosis
In this disease, tissue similar to the uterine lining is found outside the uterine cavity (e.g., in the ovaries, uterine muscle, intestines). This condition can cause adhesions and create a hostile environment in the abdominal and uterine cavities, which interferes with the chance of fertilization of the egg by sperm. At the same time, it can negatively affect the implantation of the embryo in the uterus.
Fallopian tube obstruction
Fallopian tube obstruction, most often caused by inflammation, prevents the egg from meeting the sperm and thus prevents fertilization of the egg. Read more about our one-day gynecological surgery.
Genetic and immunological causes
Certain variations in the genetic information encoded in DNA are associated with infertility. Our immune system may be pathologically focused, for example, against our own eggs or sperm, and may interfere with the process of fertilization and embryo implantation.

Uterine factor
Congenital uterine malformations (e.g., uterine septum, bicornuate uterus) can sometimes reduce the chances of becoming pregnant or cause miscarriage.
Acquired pathologies (polyps, adhesions after uterine cavity revisions, fibroids) can also sometimes complicate pregnancy or lead to miscarriage.
Age and lifestyle
Unfortunately, postponing pregnancy until later in life reduces the number and quality of eggs due to their natural decline. The critical age limit is 35. Factors such as stress, smoking, being overweight, or lack of exercise can also negatively affect fertility.
Examination before infertility treatment
Assessing fertility before starting treatment is a key step in understanding the cause of infertility and choosing the most appropriate treatment. At Reprofit, we approach diagnosis as a gradual process that leads to finding the optimal solution for each couple. We focus only on what you really need to get pregnant – nothing more, nothing less.
In some cases, the cause of infertility can be easily identified, while in others, more extensive testing is necessary. By combining all the results, we are able to determine the optimal treatment plan. Currently, we are able to help up to 95% of couples who turn to us.
How is female fertility tested?
Initial consultation
The initial consultation is a key step in understanding your situation. During the consultation, the doctor will review your medical history, including the regularity of your menstrual cycle, any illnesses you have had, surgical procedures, or medications you are taking. This information is used to create a plan for further examinations and possible treatment.
Ultrasound examination
Ultrasound is a non-invasive method that provides a detailed view of the reproductive organs. The doctor will assess:
- the shape and size of the uterus, and the possible presence of pathology
- the quality and thickness of the uterine lining, which is important for embryo implantation
- the condition of the ovaries, including follicle growth, the presence of cysts, or signs of endometriosis.
Blood sampling
Blood tests may not always be necessary, but sometimes they help to assess hormone levels and other factors affecting fertility.
How much does female fertility testing cost?
