Sometimes, a couple who are trying to conceive may face multiple challenges. For example, a woman may have difficulty with ovulation due to a thyroid condition. Some medication to help the thyroid might help, and she might begin to ovulate. Yet, the couple still isn’t able to conceive.

It could be that the couple has a combination cause for infertility. This is when more than one particular issue gets in the way of a couple’s ability to conceive. It could be multiple fertility problems for one partner, or it could be that both partners have one or more fertility problems.

How common are combination cause fertility problems?

Combination cause fertility problems are more common than you think. Some estimates suggest that around a third of couples who have trouble conceiving do so because of more than just one fertility problem.

What are the symptoms of combination cause fertility problems?

The symptoms of a combination cause fertility problem can vary. It really depends on the actual causes. Each of those causes may have some (or no) symptoms that can be readily recognized.

What are the treatments for combination cause fertility problems?

Here again, it depends on the actual causes behind the combination fertility problem. Some causes can be treated, some can’t.

What are the success rates for combination cause fertility problems?

This is another area that depends on the exact nature of the problems. Some problems can be resolved rather easily, others take more aggressive fertility treatments.
