The Doctor’s Treatment

The doctor will examine you to – if possible – find the cause of your involuntary childlessness. The starting point of the examination will be the previously mentioned four steps:

Step 1: Sperm swim from the vagina up through the uterus to the Fallopian tubes.

Step 2: The sperm meet an egg in the Fallopian tubes.

Step 3: The sperm enter the egg – fertilisation.

Step 4: The fertilised egg is led from the Fallopian tube to the uterus where it attaches itself.
