3. Comparing Treatment Pathways: Making Informed Choices
Couples often wonder whether to proceed with conservative management, timed intrauterine insemination (IUI), or advanced in-vitro fertilization (IVF) paired with ICSI. The decision requires clear diagnostic benchmarks:
- Diagnostic Patency: Evaluating fallopian tube health and uterine cavity contouring via 3D ultrasound or diagnostic hysteroscopy.
- Sperm Functional Competence: Beyond macroscopic count and motility, testing sperm DNA integrity (DFI) ensures optimal fertilization.
- Endometrial Synchronization: Ensuring optimal triple-line endometrial thickness (>7.5–8mm) with healthy uterine vascular perfusion before embryo transfer.

Eliminate trans fats, processed meats, high-fructose corn syrups, excessive refined sugars, and limit alcohol and caffeine intake to under 1–2 cups per day.
