It's difficult and daunting when you're ready to start a family but can't become pregnant. Especially if you've exhausted all of the tried-and-true techniques for increasing your odds, such as having frequent intercourse within your reproductive window, taking your temperature every morning, and using an ovulation tracker and predictor kits.
Both getting pregnant and carrying a pregnancy to term are difficult tasks. A lot of things can go wrong during these procedures, resulting in sterility. As a result, here are seven medical reasons why you might be unable to conceive according to Healthline:
1. Ovulation factor
An egg and sperm are required for human fertilization. You won't be able to get pregnant if you aren't ovulating. Anovulation is a prevalent cause of infertility in women, and it can be produced by a variety of factors.
Anovulation can be caused by a variety of factors, including PCOS. Overweight or underweight, primary ovarian insufficiency, thyroid dysfunction, hyperprolactinemia, and excessive exercise are all probable causes.
The majority of women who have ovulation issues have irregular periods. Regular menstrual periods, on the other hand, are no guarantee of ovulation. Even if you haven't been trying for a year, go to your doctor if your cycles are erratic.
2. Endometriosis:
This is a condition in which endometrium-like tissue grows outside of the uterus in a variety of sites. More than half of women with endometriosis have problems conceiving, according to research. Pelvic pain, painful menstruation, and other symptoms are some of the warning signs of this disorder. Though not every woman with endometriosis will have symptoms, if you've been trying to conceive for a year and haven't succeeded, you should consult a doctor.
3. Fallopian tube obstruction
Infertility is frequently caused by blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, which prevent sperm from accessing the egg. Fallopian tube obstruction is more likely if you have a history of pelvic infection, sexually transmitted disease, or endometriosis.
The fallopian tubes, in case you didn't know, are the tubes that connect your ovaries to your uterus. The ovaries are not directly connected to the fallopian tubes. Sperm must swim up via the cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes to reach the fallopian tubes.
Hair-like projections from the fallopian tube draw an egg inside when it is released from the ovaries. The sperm and egg finally meet inside the fallopian tube, where conception takes place.
4. Absence of frequent Copulation
To become pregnant, you must constantly copulate. If you don't engage in intimate actions regularly, you won't be able to conceive. According to the findings, some people try for up to 6 months before becoming pregnant; it does not happen automatically once you have intimacy with your spouse. It may take a long, but it should not take more than a year; if it does, you should seek fertility testing from a doctor.
5. Age-Related Infertility:
The age of a woman has a significant impact on her fertility. The reason for this is that every woman is born with all of her eggs, and most of them must have died by the time she reaches the age of 35. As a result, beyond 35, a woman's egg quality and quantity may have declined dramatically, making pregnancy more difficult, and if your partner is over 40 years old, it may be even more difficult.
6. Irregular uterine shape
It can be difficult for a fertilized egg to connect to the uterine wall if the uterus is unevenly shaped. Uterine fibroids (noncancerous growths on the uterine wall) or scar tissue after surgery or infection can cause abnormalities. It could also be due to the shape of your uterus.
7. Male factor
A problem with sperm, such as a low sperm count or aberrant sperm motility or morphology, is found in more than 30% of infertility cases. Trauma, medical disorders such as diabetes, and unhealthy habits like heavy drinking and smoking can all contribute to male factor infertility.
