A pregnancy that is taking time: when should you consult?
Infertility means that a couple has not conceived after about a year of regular intercourse without contraception. It is wise to consult earlier, from six months, depending on the woman’s age, if cycles are irregular or if either partner has a known medical history.
Dr Najib Boudra sees the couple together. Causes can involve the woman, the man or both, and sometimes no cause is found. Our article Couple infertility: when to see a doctor lists the situations that justify an appointment.
What are the possible causes?
The most common causes are:
- in women, an ovulation disorder, for example in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, often after an infection or surgery
- endometriosis, fibroids or a uterine abnormality
- reduced ovarian reserve, which naturally declines with age
- in men, sperm that are few in number, poorly mobile or abnormally shaped
- no sperm in the semen, which may call for surgical sperm retrieval
- general factors in both partners: smoking, weight, chronic illness or some medicines
How does the fertility work-up work?
Joint discussion
Your medical history, how long you have been trying, cycles and lifestyle.
Work-up for the woman
Examination, pelvic ultrasound and hormone tests, then a check that the tubes are open if needed.
Work-up for the man
A semen analysis, completed with other tests if necessary.
Summary and plan
Dr Boudra explains the results and suggests the most suitable treatment.
Treatments offered at the center
Treatment depends on the cause, age and how long you have been trying. It may be ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF) or ICSI when sperm quality is very low.
These techniques are performed in the center’s laboratory. Embryos that are not transferred can be frozen. To compare the options, read IUI or IVF: what is the difference?.

Your questions about infertility in Fes
How long should we wait before consulting?
About a year of regular intercourse without contraception. Consult earlier, from six months, depending on the woman’s age, if cycles are irregular, periods are very painful or either partner has a known medical history.
Does the man need a work-up too?
Yes. Causes can involve the man as much as the woman. The male work-up starts with a semen analysis, a simple test that looks at the number, movement and shape of the sperm.
Which tests are included in the woman’s work-up?
A gynecological examination, a pelvic ultrasound, hormone tests at specific times of the cycle and, if needed, a test to check that the tubes are open.
Which treatments does the Boudra Fertility Center offer?
Depending on the cause: ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination, IVF or ICSI. Dr Boudra explains the options after the work-up.
