Common Signs of Infertility Revealed

By Emmanuel Palmer


For most couples, they want to start a family as soon as possible. Sometimes though, people experience problems getting pregnant that bewilder and sadden them. Before you spend all your time worrying about this, you should look at some details that influence the outcome of your quest to have a baby of your own.

Are you keeping an eye on your ovulation schedule? Sometimes, it is only a matter of having intercourse at the most fertile days of the month. There are several instruments like the fertility calculator that can aid you in getting pregnant. If you are still unable to conceive after several months of unprotected sex during your most fertile period, then you may have fertility concerns that need to be addressed.

What are some signs of infertility? As we know, infertility is the inability to successfully conceive children. Sometimes the reasons have to do with adjusting one's lifestyle-- like keeping away from caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. Many times, the reason may be medical in nature. One of the most common symptoms you should watch out for is amenorrhea.

Amenorrhea is when the menstrual cycle of the woman ceases. Every woman should have menstruation; save if she is yet to experience puberty, is currently pregnant, or is already in menopause. If you are neither of these and you have no menstruation, visit your doctor immediately. Be aware though that it will take several cycles before menstruation returns to its normal pattern if you have just been taken off birth control pills.

There are a few reasons for amenorrhea. At times, the ovaries do not produce the needed hormones; or there is a malfunction in the reproductive system of the body. The pituitary gland, which is responsible for sex hormones among others, sometimes get disrupted and contribute to the woman's breakdown in conception process.

Weight is also among the common signs of infertility for both men and women. Being too fat can be a symptom of some hormonal imbalance that makes it difficult for some people to conceive. A lack of body fat on the other hand will compel the body to conserve energy by ceasing to have menstruation; or for men, produce satisfactory sperm count and quality.

Infertility in men is not as obvious as that of the women's. It is usually in physical and anatomical abnormalities like undescended testicles that make for unviable sperm quality. Men should steer clear of overly tight pants, as well as exposing their scrotum to intense heat. A sperm analysis may be needed to confirm any suspicion of infertility. Any sexual dysfunction he has may also be an index of fertility problems

If you and your partner have problems getting pregnant and want to undergo treatment or medication, it is highly advisable that you seek your doctor's recommendation first.Infertility may be irreversible for some people, but there are always other alternatives that can help you attain your lifelong dream of a happy family. Take a complete medical examination and consult with your doctor regarding these options.
