The main thing is not to make a diagnosis ahead of time. Only in 20% of cases the cause of non-pregnancy is infertility. And even then, most of these diagnoses can be treated. Sometimes it is only necessary to change some aspects of life, to apply a little more effort - and the dream will become a reality.
Stress interferes with conception
You become irritable, do not sleep well? Do you have no appetite, or do you eat for two? And at the sight of a woman with a round belly, tears of envy come to your eyes ... Difficulties with the onset of pregnancy can often cause depression. It, in turn, is especially prolonged, can prevent ovulation. No wonder many experienced people advise: "Less think about pregnancy, do not get hung up on it - it will come." This statement is not unfounded, but learning to "not think" is not so simple. There are special techniques, group therapy, you can resort to the services of a psychologist. But the simplest thing that gets rid of bad thoughts is sports. Do something, for example, swimming. This will help not only to avoid problems, but also restore the hormonal balance.
It often happens that, according to doctors, a barren woman becomes pregnant soon after she adopts a child. This phenomenon shows how the psyche affects fertility. It all depends on the internal state and mood. The woman, adopting the child, has already become a mother, she calmed down, ceased to torment himself with the thought of infertility. And the birth of a child was possible.
Reconsider your food
The menu of future parents should be diverse, from foods rich in vitamins and trace elements. The main enemy of conception is trans fats, or modified vegetable fats. Contain their hamburgers, French fries, potato chips and various kinds of cookies. Their excess can cause violations in the functioning of many organs, including those responsible for the fact that pregnancy does not occur.
In addition, trans fats cause weight gain and excess weight, which makes the possibility of conception unlikely. The same situation occurs if the weight is too low. As for coffee and tea, then from a couple of cups a day is unlikely to be a threat to your reproductive function. But alcohol should be abandoned altogether. He and for those who do not have problems with fertility women can be dangerous, but for those who, it seems, birth is impossible, it is better to say goodbye to him at all.
More patience in the bedroom
You feel guilty, because you are less and less active in sex, you generally do not want intimacy, sex has ceased to give you pleasure. In fact, for successful pregnancy, frequent sex can be a hindrance. The more often a man has sex, the less the concentration of spermatozoa in his biological fluid. Sperm quality is also significantly affected. Ideal - every two days. Not more often, but less often, so as not to "slip past" ovulation.
Usually, if the sex life is organized correctly, pregnancy occurs within six months. And the diagnosis in general can be put only after a year of inconclusive intimate life.
Know your fertile days
If the pregnancy does not occur longer than three months, the cause and solution can be found by yourself. You must start the calendar of fertile days. Simply put, calculate the date of your ovulation. This is done by measuring the body's daily temperature. Measurements should be performed at the same time before getting out of bed. Another way to determine fertility is to observe the secretions. During ovulation, cervical mucus becomes transparent and resembles egg white. The rest of the time it is white and opaque.
In the pharmacy you can buy special tests that can accurately determine the moment of ovulation. Knowing fertile days is especially important when choosing the best time for conception.
The reason can be in a man
The gynecologist has studied the history of your previous illnesses and operations, looked at the menstrual cycle chart, checked the results of the tests and ultrasound - everything is in order. So you need to examine your partner. The doctor will write out a direction for the analysis of sperm, send to ultrasound. Unfortunately, your partner may disagree. He can say that it's healthy that no one in his family ... and so on.
For many men, the decision to conduct a survey is the most difficult. In our country (and not only in ours) there is still a stereotype that in the absence of offspring, only a woman is to blame. And after all, according to statistics, 40% of cases of non-occurrence of pregnancy are associated with the state of health of a man!
The study of the quality of sperm is very simple, it can easily confirm or exclude the fact of male infertility. Why not do it instead of many times without the need to expose a woman to difficult tests.
If after a year of effort, pregnancy does not occur
Usually in this case we are talking about pathology, which should be treated by specialists of centers of infertility treatment. Even if such a center is located quite far away, it is worth turning to. Usually, these clinics are actually equipped with medical equipment and laboratories to facilitate diagnosis and possible treatment. It is better to contact there at once with the partner. Causes and decisions will prompt you there in any case, even if you do not agree to certain procedures.
Do not worry in advance. Even if the birth of a child is impossible, modern medicine can cope with the solution of most of the problems that cause infertility. The worst thing you can do is wait indefinitely, and every month you torment yourself with hopes and disappointments.
