Couple-Based Treatment

By RRM Academy Reviewed by Dr. Naomi Whittaker, MD, Board-Certified OBGYN, MIGS, NFPMC, FCI Updated May 7, 2026

The RRM principle that when infertility or recurrent miscarriage is the concern, both partners receive evaluation and treatment as a unit. Male factor is the sole cause of infertility in approximately 20% of couples and a contributing factor in another 30 to 40%. Both partners are always assessed in RRM. This approach supports the relationship and reduces the emotional burden that often falls disproportionately on the female partner.³⁵
