Infertility does not only affect women!
Many times, it is easy for a woman to blame herself in the early stages of dealing with infertility.
The reality however, is that infertility affects men & women equally, with the combination of both partners accounting for the remainder.
Like all things in a relationship, getting pregnant is a joint effort and the cause for difficulty trying to conceive can be attributed to either partner involved.
There is never a need to place blame or feel guilt when such situations arise.
Instead, it is best to work together to come up with a plan to overcome the obstacles in place so that the goal of having a family can be accomplished.
It can be difficult to come to terms that there may a problem & the financial costs of fertility treatment can seem out of reach.
These are common reasons as to why just few women with infertility have sought medical assistance.
Sometimes, it just takes time. After a couple of months of trying to conceive, it is easy for many couples to get discouraged if they are not seeing the desired results.
This is especially true for young couples who feel that their level of health should make it a breeze.
After years of trying different methods, it can be easy to become discouraged if results are not immediate.
Particularly living in a world where we’ve grown accustomed to instant gratification.
The fact is that only 60% of couples are able to conceive after 6 months of trying without any medical assistance at all.
It is well known that the human body can be a mystery and that there are a wide array of factors that contribute to fertility.
A lack of ideal conditions in the early stages of trying does not mean that a couple won’t be able to conceive naturally without assistance.
When it comes to getting pregnant, there is no need to panic in the early months of trying to conceive, but the more proactive you can be in seeking treatment, the better your chances of success.
If you are under the age of 35 and have been trying to conceive for more than a year or if you are over the age of 35 and have been trying for more than 6 months, you should consider consulting with a fertility specialist.
