Being diagnosed with infertility doesn’t mean that you can't have a child
Many couples who experience infertility will eventually be able to conceive...it can just take a bit of time and require medical and lifestyle intervention.
Difficulty in Falling Pregnant
Infertility is the inability to conceive a child after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse...And it's not just a woman’s problem. Men can be infertile too. In fact, men and women are equally likely to have fertility problems.
Difficulty in falling pregnant can be caused by one or more of these factors:
- Endometriosis
- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
- Structure/function of male and female reproductive systems
- Thyroid problems
- Sperm problems
- Weight
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Smoking
Like any problem, infertility can be very stressful and may place unwanted strain on a couple’s relationship. However, it’s the struggle—and their need for mutual support—that usually leads to a more secure bond.
