Unexplained Fertility and Your Next Steps
Unexplained infertility is when standard fertility testing has not found a direct cause for a couple’s inability to get pregnant.
NOVA IVF, located in Mountain View, California, has been the Bay area’s premier fertility clinic since 1987. Under the leadership of renowned reproductive endocrinology and fertility specialists Richard J. Schmidt, MD, FACOG and Meera Shah, MD, FACOG, the clinic and its cutting-edge In Vitro Fertilization Lab have gained recognition as one of the area’s top fertility clinics.
At NOVA IVF, the physicians and medical team truly connect with their patients at a level that is all too rarely seen in medicine today. The team commits to performing one procedure at a time and starts treatment cycles based on their patient’s ovaries’ hormonal best time, rather than the lab’s availability. This focus on individualized care, coupled with a highly experienced team of providers and an IVF lab equipped with state-of-the art technology, allows the NOVA IVF team to continue the exceptional success rate they’ve experienced over time.
NOVA IVF is an inclusive and welcoming clinic, providing a wide range of services to all patients regardless of their relationship status or sexual orientation. Services include treatment for unexplained infertility, male infertility, tubal infertility, endometriosis infertility, and implantation issues. In addition to IVF treatments, the wide range of services also includes egg donation and egg freezing, oocyte donation combined with gestational surrogacy, and preimplantation genetic diagnosis/testing (PGD).

"The delivery of fertility care is rapidly changing in our fast-moving world. Many clinics are structured in a way that makes it difficult for doctors to regularly communicate with patients and get to know them well enough that you feel empathy for them. Fertility in itself can be a stressful process, and it is important to select a clinic that priorities your physical and mental health, whether you’re hoping to preserve your options amid a busy career, or coming to us after failed attempts elsewhere."
– Dr. Meera Shah

Unexplained infertility is when standard fertility testing has not found a direct cause for a couple’s inability to get pregnant.
Male factor infertility can stem from several issues related to structural issues of the testes, hormone imbalances, or sperm quality. In many cases, the issue is directly related to the health of the sperm.
