Overcoming Infertility
A Compassionate Resource for Getting Pregnant
An Excerpt
By Robert Jansen, M.D.
Second, a cause might be found for relative infertility, by which we mean fertility that is low in relation to what we expect but is not zero. Examples include a low sperm count, irregular ovulation, a problem of anatomy or physiology that lowers the chance of sperm or egg arriving for fertilization at the right place at the right time, or some incomplete, unpredictable disturbance in embryo development. (Relative infertility is the subject of Chapter 7.)
Third, tests may show nothing wrong whatsoever, that is, there is unexplained infertility (a subject that has no special chapter but is discussed here and in Chapter 2).
Excerpted from Overcoming Infertility: A Compassionate Resource for Getting Pregnant (W.H. Freeman & Company, 1997).
