female symptoms

Some women experience physical symptoms associated with infertility, while others don't have any physical signs. As unpleasant as these symptoms may be, they can alert your healthcare provider to the cause of your infertility, and help speed up the diagnostic process.

It is important for a woman to know her body and monitor it closely. Physical changes such as irregular periods or the absence of menstruation, pelvic pain, chronic acne and weight gain can act as clues. Telling your doctor about any symptoms right away can help him/her make a diagnosis and bring you and your partner one step closer to your goal.

Here you will find descriptions of symptoms that can be linked to female infertility. They have been categorized according to how they manifest themselves such as through infection, physical indicators, pain and/or changes in menstruation.
