A couple is told they have “unexplained infertility” when standard tests – ovulation, tubes, womb and semen analysis – come back normal, yet pregnancy does not happen. It is a common diagnosis, but it does not mean there is no cause; it means the cause was not found by routine tests.
What routine tests may miss
- Mild endometriosis: deposits may not show on a scan and are found only on laparoscopy.
- Subtle tubal problems: tubes can be open yet not function normally.
- Egg quality and ageing ovaries: normal cycles do not guarantee good egg quality, especially after 35.
- Sperm function: a normal count does not rule out DNA damage or problems with fertilisation.
- Thyroid or immune factors: subclinical thyroid disease or autoimmune conditions may be overlooked.
- Lifestyle factors: stress, weight, sleep, smoking and alcohol affect fertility in both partners.
What can be done
A fertility specialist may advise further tests, timed intercourse, IUI or IVF depending on age and duration. Many couples also review diet, weight, sleep and stress, and some choose to add homeopathic treatment, which looks at the individual constitution of each partner rather than a single diagnosis. If you are over 35 or have been trying for a long time, do not delay specialist assessment.
