  • A lengthy menstrual cycle of over 35 days
  • A brief menstrual cycle of less than 21 days
  • Absent or irregular periods

Your gynecologists can help to restore fertility. They will need to first run a few tests to determine how best to treat your infertility. Fertility can be restored using two different methods which include using medications to help with conception, or using medical techniques to help you conceive.

If your gynecologist recommends medications, these are some of the most common medications to increase fertility:

  • Clomiphene citrate, which stimulates you to ovulate
  • Gonadotropins, which stimulates increased egg production
  • Metformin, which treats insulin-resistance, a cause of infertility
  • Letrozole, which induces ovulation
  • Bromocriptine, which eliminates ovulation issues due to excess pituitary function

If your gynecologist recommends fertility assistance using medical techniques, some techniques which can help include:

  • Removing growths with surgery
  • Reversing a tubal ligation with surgery
  • Unblocking fallopian tubes with surgery
  • Intrauterine insemination (IUI), to place sperm inside the uterus
