    Infertility Trying To Conceive Women's Health
    I’ve recently had ultrasounds and various tests done which have confirmed that I am infertile, however I long to have a child. Does this mean I don’t ovulate? Is there a treatment, am I able to have children?

    Whether or not infertility is permanent depends on the cause. In some cases, if the cause is treatable then it can be cured. If the cause is not treatable then the problem is often overcome by using Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) to achieve pregnancy.
     
    ART includes procedures such as IVF (in vitro fertilisation), ovulation induction, ICSI (intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection), intrauterine insemination, egg donation, GIFT (gamete intra-fallopian transfer), and MESA (microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration). Most fertility clinics, if they do not have their own donor sperm program, have access to one that they can use if needed.

    For more information Queensland women can call the Health Information on 3839 9988 or 1800 017 676 (toll free outside Brisbane).
