Cervical Mucous
Some women have cervical mucus hostility with antibodies within the mucus which immobilise the sperm and stop their forward progression into the uterus.
This is a relatively rare cause of infertility.
This can be addressed by Artificial Insemination with the husband’s sperm (AIH) bypassing the cervix or In Vitro Fertilisation and Embryo Transfer (IVF & ET).
In our society 5-10% of couples have difficulty conceiving.

- Have you been trying to conceive for more than 6 months?
- Have you been diagnosed with endometriosis?
- Has your partner had a vasectomy?
- Are you over the age of 35?
- Is your menstrual cycle short, irregular or prolonged
Did you know? Failure to conceive is often the only symptom of endometriosis. Early investigation means early diagnosis and more effective treatment.
