Specializes in General Practice

Infertility: If you are truly infertile or if your male partner's sperm is ineffective then this can only be diagnosed by specific testing. The answer will never be found from the internet. There are a dozen physical and chemical processes to getting pregnant. All of this must be evaluated in a fertility work up.
