Deciding to book your first fertility workup can feel bigger than the actual workup. The tests themselves are usually quick and inexpensive, and a structured fertility assessment for women gives real answers within one or two menstrual cycles.
Cervical Factor Infertility is when problems with the cervix or cervical mucus prevent sperm from reaching the uterus. It accounts for approximately 3 to 5% of infertility cases. Not the most common cause of female infertility, but a real one, and often silent until a workup investigates it.
