Being diagnosed with infertility doesn’t mean that you can't have a baby
Many couples who experience infertility will eventually be able to conceive...it can just take a bit of time and require medical and lifestyle intervention.
Difficulty in Falling Pregnant
Infertility is the inability to conceive a child after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse...And it's not just a woman’s problem. Men can be infertile too. In fact, men and women are equally likely to have fertility problems.
​
Difficulty in falling pregnant can be caused by one or more of these factors:
- Structure/function of male and female reproductive systems
- Thyroid problems
- Sperm problems
- Weight
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Smoking
​
Like any problem, infertility can be very stressful and may place unwanted strain on a couple’s relationship. However, it’s the struggle—and their need for mutual support—that usually leads to a more secure bond.
