Difficulty in getting pregnant

Difficulty in getting pregnant

For some people, pregnancy happens easily, but for some people, difficulty in getting pregnant.

There are several ways to get pregnant through sex.

There are different reasons why we face difficulty in getting pregnant ? For example, the problem in pregnancy can be from one or both couples. When the problem in pregnancy is with the person who wants to get pregnant (woman), it is called female infertility, which is called female factor infertility.

Reasons that may make it difficult to get pregnant include:

Ovulation problem:

Ovulation is the period of the monthly cycle when the ovary releases the egg into the fallopian tubes. Hormones control ovulation. Pregnancy occurs when a sperm fertilizes an egg as it travels through the fallopian tubes to the uterus. In general, your chances of getting pregnant are higher when you have 1-2 days before ovulation or a day close to ovulation. But in some people, there is no ovulation at all or they don’t have regular ovulation, which makes it difficult to get pregnant.

Problems of the uterus and fallopian tubes:

For example, if there is scar tissue in the fallopian tubes due to previous infections or surgery, and the uterine tubes are closed for this reason.

If the uterine tubes are closed, the sperm loses its ability to reach the egg, or if you have scar tissue or fibroid in the uterus, pregnancy is prevented. (Pregnancy is the bane)

Endometriosis:

If you’re in your mid-30s or older, it makes getting pregnant more difficult

Fortunately, there are several treatments that can help treat these problems.

When should a doctor’s visit be done?

If you do not get pregnant after 1 year of unprotected sex, you should see a doctor.
If you are over 35 years old or you don’t get your period every month, go to Pershek.
If you are still not pregnant after 6 months of trying to conceive, see your doctor
But if you are worried about this, you can go to the doctor earlier than this time.

The doctor talks to you and examines you, they usually do tests to diagnose your problem. Based on what they find, they may suggest that your partner get tested as well. But sometimes the tests don’t find a clear problem to explain the cause of your infertility.

Is there anything I can do myself?

Sometimes if you are overweight, losing weight can help you get pregnant, losing weight can also help you have a healthy pregnancy.

Avoid smoking and alcohol because it reduces the chances of pregnancy.

Your doctor can talk to you about other things you can try, including: when you ovulate, when you have the best chance of getting pregnant each month.

If there is a specific physical problem that makes pregnancy difficult, specific treatment can help.

What treatments are available?

One or more of the following treatments may be recommended. If you are having trouble conceiving, you and your doctor should decide which treatment to try first.

Treatments can include:

Medications, clomiphene:

If you are not ovulating regularly or not ovulating at all, medications can increase your chances of ovulation. In most cases, this treatment is tried first. Your doctor will tell you how and when to use these medicines. They will also tell you when to have intercourse when the treatment is most effective in pregnancy. If this treatment does not work for you within a few months, the doctor will try to suggest other drugs to help ovulation.

Hormone injection:

Hormone injections are usually recommended if you do not become pregnant while taking clomiphene. Hormones increase the chance of ovulation. The doctor will tell you how and when to do it.

IUI intrauterine insemination:

For this treatment, the doctor uses a tube to transfer the sperm into the uterus. This is done right before ovulation. In some people, this treatment is done with clomiphene or hormone injection in a combined form, which increases the chance of pregnancy.

IVF:

IVF is a treatment procedure that is usually performed when other treatment methods have not been effective, which includes the following:

When you have had hormone injections for a few weeks, these hormones prepare your ovaries to ovulate.
Just before ovulation, a thin needle removes a number of eggs from the ovaries. This is done through the vagina.
Eggs are placed with sperm in laboratory dishes, so the sperm can fertilize one or more eggs.
After 2-5 days the fertilized eggs or eggs are placed inside the uterus. In optimistic conditions, one of the fertilized eggs attaches to the uterus and grows, and pregnancy occurs.

IVF is usually done when:

Fallopian tubes are absent or closed.
Tests show a low sperm count in your partner.
You still haven’t succeeded in getting pregnant despite trying other ways.

How can we know if a treatment has worked?

During the treatment, your doctor will perform tests at different times to check the effectiveness of the treatment. These tests include blood tests, ultrasound. Ultrasound is an imaging test that takes pictures of the inside of the body.

Does treatment always work?

No – treatment does not always help a person get pregnant, a treatment may work for one person but not for another.

How do we decide what treatment to do?

Talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of different treatments.

To choose an effective treatment for you, it is better to think about things:

How well your doctor thinks a treatment is working.
Treatment price – some treatments have high costs. Health insurance does not cover all types of treatment.
How long does the treatment take? It may be necessary to complete the treatment more than once a week. Getting pregnant can take between a month and a year.

Side effects and weaknesses of treatment:

You should talk to your doctor about other options for having children, such as adoption. These decisions can be very difficult. You may find it helpful to talk to a counselor or join a support group for people struggling with pregnancy.
