Conception Difficulties
There are many couples who encounter difficulties with falling pregnant, there are many reasons for this, and most of them can be worked around to get a positive outcome.
Some of the most common reasons are :
- Male sperm count.
As men get older their sperm count will start to decline, this actually starts while a man is in is 20's, and the older they get, the lower their sperm count.
Their are also medical reasons why a man could have lowered or non existant sperm counts.
- Ovulation.
There are many women who simply dont ovulate, this can be for a number of reasons, such as hormonal problems, blocked fallopian tubes, Ovarian cysts, and many other things.
A fertility specialist can help improve your conception chances for most cases.
- Age.
As we get older , our bodies become less fertile, this is true for both men and women.
For women this is usually the case after the age of 35, for men, once they reach the age of 40, they produce less healthy, strong sperm, making it harder to become pregnant.
- Lifestyle.
How we live can have a direct impact on our reproductive systems. Stress, for example, can make it harder for conception to take place, as can smoking and drinking.
Your best chances of conceiving are to lead a healthy lifestyle, with regular exercise, and a well balanced diet.
There are many reasons why some people find conceiving to be so difficult, even people without medical reasons can still try for months before getting the positive result they were waiting for.
If you have been trying for a while and still cant seem to get pregnant, a trip to a specialist can help to move things along and also put your mind at ease.
