The fertility treatment of many causes of infertility revolves around a concept to increase cycle fecundity. Cycle fecundity is the likelihood of a pregnancy resulting in any given menstrual cycle. Treatments that increase cycle fecundity can be applied to a multitude of pathologic conditions. These treatments accelerate the "fertility curve" and may improve the otherwise protracted curve of patients with unexplained infertility. Take a look at the various treatment guides at San Diego Fertility Center.
