Why does not pregnancy take more than a year?

According to statistics, the probability of becoming pregnant with age gradually decreases. It was revealed that women under 25 have a high chance of becoming pregnant, after 25 - the chances are reduced by 15%, in 35 - by 60%. But not all women are lucky enough to get pregnant in the prime of life. And everything, at first glance, seems normal, but all the same women do not understand why pregnancy does not come more than a year. In this case, doctors recommend to seek help from specialists.

Causes of infertility can be concealed both in the woman and in the man. A woman often suffers from hormonal or gynecological problems, hypertension, stress. Negative influence is exerted by difficulties with excess weight, and the presence of bad habits.

Problems in men can be caused by genetic or hormonal factors, a small number of active spermatozoa, low permeability of the vas deferens, traumatic or surgical effects on the genitals and all the same bad habits.

The situation when a family can not conceive a child, often leads to depression and deterioration of relations in the family. Stress, depression, depression, psychological discomfort due to the inability to conceive a baby will help to remove an experienced family psychologist.

However, there may be much deeper reasons why pregnancy does not occur. Detect or exclude them in a women's consultation. The results of the survey should shed light on the cause of infertility. And the tests will reveal, in what state is the female body and in what direction to carry out the treatment.

Experts recommend that you constantly monitor the ovulation schedule. This is due to the fact that conception occurs mainly in the period 2 days before and after ovulation. Usually ovulation occurs on day 13 of the cycle, but sometimes it can be earlier. You can identify it using tests or yourself, carefully observing the nature of mucous discharge throughout the menstrual cycle.

Watch also for the regularity of menstruation. If they are not regular, it means that, probably, ovulation does not occur. This condition is easily cured by a specialist.

Remember that regular menstruation is an indicator of normal functioning of the ovaries.

Keep a graph of basal temperature to see if ovulation occurs. This will show an increase in temperature. With it, you can also determine the level of progesterone. When conception, it is important that the level of progesterone in a woman is high, as evidenced by the fever after ovulation.

Hand over all tests, take examinations according to the doctor's instructions. Do not be afraid of the doctor's questions about the last intimate life. Be sure to tell the truth about the transferred infectious diseases, operations, drug and alcohol addictions, about previous pregnancies, about how the embryo developed, about delivery. Do not be afraid to talk about the nature of sex life, how often and how to have sex. It is important for a doctor to obtain and evaluate information to find the cause of infertility.

It will be necessary to pass tests on the level of progesterone in the body. In addition, the doctor will appoint a postcoital test, which is carried out 7-9 hours after sexual intercourse. This is a study of vaginal mucus, which may have the ability to kill sperm.

If these tests are not sufficient to prescribe adequate therapy, you will have to undergo a thorough examination in the hospital, where they will perform a thyroid examination, an extended blood test and a karyotype study. The latter will detect or exclude deviations in the chromosome set of a person.

Immunological research is conducted to investigate individual incompatibility, laparoscopy - to remove adhesions in the fallopian tubes.

From the side of the man it is necessary to make a spermogram and to be examined at the andrologist. This will reveal violations in the number and mobility of spermatozoa. Note that a huge number of spermatozoa is also a pathology.

If the doctor has not found any abnormalities that could explain the impossibility of conception for more than a year, contact another specialist, perhaps he will provide more qualified help.
