Only your first sentence is correct.

It helped thousands of women all over the world get over their through infertility problems.

Technically, none of your sentences was correct - none of them started with a capital letter and none finished with a punctuation mark.

I have left your third sentence in place above because I am very surprised that you thought that "get over their through" could be correct. Are you sure that's what you meant to suggest?

Thank you for your concentration, for technical part, I do know that but didn't mean correction but for the middle part;)

For third sentence I was wrong, I meant to ask for ( get over through their infertility problems), but thank you for your notes

I can't understand what this means.

For the third sentence, I was wrong. I meant to ask [STRIKE]for ([/STRIKE] if "get over through their infertility problems" was correct, but thank you for your notes.

"Get over through" is also incorrect.

m3zomo, as you already knew about capital letters and closing punctuation, you should have written your sentences grammatically in post #1 for four reasons:

1. It is a good habit to get into to write grammatically at all times;

2. It is a good example to set for other students who might read your thread;

3. It shows respect for the language and to the teachers and other native speakers here;

4. It would have saved me having to write this and spend five minutes of my life which I'll never get back.

Don't use a home-made emoticon to replace a proper punctuation mark. If you want to use a smiley, click on the :-D icon.
