Infertility is a condition where the couple is unable to conceive after 12 months of regular sexual relationship without birth control.
There are two kinds of infertility – primary and secondary:
- Primary infertility means that the couple has never conceived.Secondary infertility means that the couple has experienced a pregnancy before and failed to conceive later.
- A number of people face these problems but are embarrassed or hesitant to seek help.
To understand infertility, we need to understand the process of fertilization.
Recognizing infertility
If you’ve had more than a year of regular sexual relationship without birth control and you haven’t achieved pregnancy, it’s best to seek help. If a year hasn’t passed yet, a good strategy is to plan to have sexual relationship during the days the woman is ovulating. If a woman has regular menstrual cycles, sexual relationship between the 8th & the 20th day will help.
Facts about infertility
It’s a myth that infertility is always a “woman’s problem”. Half of all cases of infertility result from problems with the man’s reproductive system. Of couples that seek medical treatment for infertility, 20% conceive before the treatment actually begins. One reason may be that anxiety about infertility may have contributed to the fertility problem, so contacting a doctor and counseling helps. 50% conceive within two years from starting treatment. Most infertility results from physical problems in a man or woman’s reproductive system.
