Fertility care includes both partners

Fertility is shaped by many factors. Looking at the whole picture can help people understand what might be affecting their journey.

A shared evaluation

Fertility factors can involve either partner, both partners, or remain unexplained. Depending on your situation, clinicians may recommend evaluation for both partners.

Talk openly and kindly

It is common for conversations about fertility to feel personal. Making room for each person’s questions and feelings can support a more collaborative process.

Your next step

A care team can explain which assessments may be appropriate and what each one can and cannot tell you.

Every person’s experience is different. For guidance that considers your needs, speak with a qualified fertility clinician.
