In healthy couples under age 30 who have sex regularly, the chance of getting pregnant is about 25 - 30% per month.
A woman's peak fertility occurs in her early 20s. After age 35 (and especially 40), the chances that a woman can get pregnant drops considerably. And it is not uncommon that a woman can get pregnant well into her 40s. If you are healthy and take good care of yourself, being in your late 30s or 40s is not a reason for having difficulty conceiving.
The main symptom of infertility is the inability to become pregnant. Specific symptoms depend on what is causing the infertility.
Infertility can cause many painful emotions in one or both partners.
When you should seek treatment for infertility depends on your age. It is recommended that women under 30 should generally try to get pregnant on their own for 1 year before seeking testing.
Infertility testing involves a complete medical history and physical examination of both partners.
Blood and imaging tests will be done. In women, this may include:
Tests in men may include:
Treatment depends on the cause of infertility. It may involve:
It is important to recognize and discuss the emotional impact that infertility has on you and your partner, and to seek health advice from your health care provider.
You can increase your chances of becoming pregnant each month by having sex at least every 3 days before and during ovulation. It is especially important to do so before ovulation occurs. Sperm can live inside a woman's body for at least 3 days. However, a woman's egg can only be fertilized by the sperm for a few hours after it is released.
Ovulation occurs about 2 weeks before the next menstrual cycle (period) starts. If a woman gets her period every 28 days, the couple should have sex at least every 3 days between the 10th and 18th day after the period starts.
As many as 1 in 5 couples diagnosed with infertility eventually become pregnant without treatment.
Working with a Holistic Chiropractor who can help you understand the underlying reason for your difficulty becoming pregnant is warranted. Using a well-rounded, multifaceted approach to address all the underlying causes for your difficulties would be a first choice before resorting to medical intervention. Understanding what is involved and the time commitment necessary is important before beginning this type of care.
Many couples have been successful in conceiving after working with an Acupuncturist, Homeopath or Naturopath.
More than half of couples with infertility become pregnant after treatment, not including advanced techniques such as in vitro fertiliziation (IVF).
Complications
Infertility can have a big emotional impact on you and your partner.
Depression, anxiety, and marriage problems may occur.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you are unable to get pregnant.
Preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, may reduce your risk of infertility.
Maintaining a healthy diet, weight, and lifestyle may increase your chances for getting pregnant and having a healthy pregnancy.
Take a whole food prenatal or multivitamin containing folic acid before and during pregnancy. This lowers your risk for miscarriage and developmental problems in the baby.
