IMAGINE yourself in a few months or a year from now
Being PREGNANT or even HAVING A BABY
IMAGINE doing it without the need for IVF
The good thing is treatment is available
So many couples spend a good part of their lives trying not to get pregnant, that when it comes time to start a family, they don’t think of infertility as being a potential problem but statistics show that for approximately 12% of American women, infertility is a very real problem. Around 30% will conceive within 1 month.
HOW LONG DOES IT USUALLY TAKE?
For some couples, getting pregnant is quick and easy. For others, things may not go exactly as planned. Having problems getting pregnant can be devastating. Many women try time after time to conceive and wait each month patiently to find out if they are pregnant only to discover that they were unsuccessful.
In general, a fertile couple has a good chance of getting pregnant within a year:
Around 60% will conceive within 6 months.
Around 85% will conceive within 1 year.
For the 15% of women who don’t fall pregnant within the first 12 months of trying, about half will conceive the following year if they keep trying. Others may need help for them to conceive.
FERTILITY PROBLEMS WHICH AFFECT WOMEN
About one-third of infertility can be attributed to a problem with the woman’s fertility and is often a problem in their ovulation cycle. This may be affected by:
-
Age – approximately one in five women are now waiting until after 35 to start their family. Fertility is affected by age, and a woman’s fertility decreases each year after 30. Age can affect a woman’s ovulation, the quality of her eggs and increase the risk of miscarriage.
-
Diet
-
Stress
-
Physical activity
-
Smoking
-
Drinking
-
Sexually transmitted disease
-
Hormonal problems
-
Blocked and/or damaged fallopian tubes either due to illness or disease
-
A physical problem with her uterus
-
Overall health

FERTILITY PROBLEMS WHICH AFFECT MEN
About one-third of infertility can be attributed to a problem with the man’s fertility. This may be affected by:
-
Sperm production – too few or none at all.
-
Sperm quality – Sperm can be affected by congenital problems, illness, injury, lifestyle choices such as alcohol, drug and cigarette consumption, environmental hazards such as exposure to toxins, medications, age, and cancer treatments.
-
Sperm mobility – the sperm can’t travel to the egg to fertilize it.
The remaining one-third can be attributed to a combination of both the woman’s and the man’s fertility.
GETTING HELP
It may feel as if you are the only couple in the world who are having trouble starting a family and you may find yourself laying blame on any number of things including each other.
