Do you stumble upon the question “Why can’t I get pregnant, often?” Despite regular intercourse for 12 months or more, getting pregnant is difficult for couples suffering from infertility.
As statistics point out, the global infertility rate is around 17.5 percent. This means every 1 in 6 people suffer from this problem, causing great distress mentally and in their respective marriages.
Tapping in the core of the cause leading to fertility is a wise approach provided by the advanced medical health care system in this 21st century. At Pacific IVF, our highly skilled team of doctors helps track and solve the cause of infertility.
This article summarizes the reasons that lead to infertility, defining each reason precisely.
Reasons That Make It Difficult To Get Pregnant
Normally, medically identified reasons are the major contributors to infertility such as:
1. Fallopian Tube Obstruction:
- Fallopian tubes are the tubular structures that transfer the egg to the uterus, hence the importance is significant. Now, in case a fallopian tube develops some scar or is completely blocked, sperm and ovum wouldn’t have a passage to meet. Learn More about >> “Symptoms Of Blocked Fallopian Tubes“
- Such tube obstruction can be caused by infection to the pelvis, sexually transmitted diseases, or endometriosis
- A shrinkage or partial obstruction can also trap an egg if it has been fertilized causing ectopic pregnancy. In this condition, the fallopian tube is operated or removed to prevent further complications.
2. Abnormally Shaped Uterus:
- The Shape of a uterus must be intact as given by biology. In case a uterus is irregularly shaped, it becomes difficult for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterine wall.
- An abnormality present could be caused by uterine fibroids or after surgery leading to scar tissues.
3. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome/ Ovulation Disorder:
- Some women suffer from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) which is an ovulation disorder. This disorder screws up the hormonal flow in a female’s body leading to infrequent, less often ovulation or no ovulation at all. Have A look At “PCOS Treatment For Unmarried Females“
- Sometimes, taking upon oneself, piles of stress, lack of bodily movements and exercise, obesity or low body weight can also impact the timing of ovulation.
4. The Male Infertility:
- 30-40 percent of inability to conceive points to male infertility. Majorly low sperm count, poor sperm quality, reduced sperm motility, and abnormal shape of the sperm contribute to male infertility.
- As a male age, the overall power of sperm to fertilize an ovum diminishes gradually.
Besides the medically acclaimed reasons, the following reasons contribute to the question, “Why can’t I get pregnant?”
5. Taking A Lot Of Stress:
- Firstly, trying to conceive for the very first time is a rollercoaster of mixed emotions such as feeling excited, nervous, and anxious all at the same time. As long as the stress comes along this can impact the hormones and egg release.
- Managing stress effectively through counseling, self-realization, and support from friends, family, and husband should be done.
6.Age Factor:
- Women have a biological clock and a certain age period yields maximum results in getting pregnant. The early 20s is the best time to bear a child. As 30 strikes, each passing year makes it more difficult to get pregnant.
- After menopause, which is the storage of the menstrual cycle, females can no longer lead pregnancy. Menopause can occur anytime in 40’s or 50’s.
- Females are born with 1-2 million eggs, losing numbers as the age factor kicks in. By age 37, the pace at which women lose eggs accelerates greatly. Pregnancy becomes difficult here!
- Also, the quality of eggs starts to decline as a female ages into her 40s or 50s, causing no pregnancy at all or abnormal pregnancies miscarriages, threats to the mother’s life, chromosomal abnormality, and so on.
