Fertility Problem Explained And How Can You Deal With It?

Fertility refers to the capacity of a couple or individual to have a baby through regular sexual activities. Fertility is usually viewed when there is a failure to reproduce naturally, commonly referred to as infertility. Human fertility is influenced by many factors, including diet, culture, endocrinology, timing, consanguinity, emotions, etc.

Signs of a Fertility Problem

It can be devastating for couples to find out that they are suffering from a fertility problem after trying to conceive but failed for at least a year. The causes of infertility are varied and do not have clear signs, however, listed below are some indicators that can indicate a problem with fertility and prompt a visit to a doctor:

You’re 35 years old or over, and you’ve been trying to become pregnant for the past six months.

You’re under 35 and had unprotected sexual encounters for a period of one year without becoming pregnant.

If you have experienced two or more losses of pregnancy.

You are suffering from any infertility risk factors.

Irregular menstrual cycles

Usually, bleeding is light or heavy and painful menstrual cramps

Frequent heavy periods or unusual menstrual bleeding

Pelvic pain or pain during sexual intercourse

Sexual dysfunction (including the erectile dysfunction as well as low libido)

Common Causes

Listed below are a few factors causing decreased fertility that aren’t under your control:

Age

Usually, female fertility increases during early 20s to mid-20s, and after the age of 35, it begins to decline rapidly. However, the male fertility declines with age, although not as drastically. Although some men remain fertile at the age of 50, women who have uteruses are infertile after menopausal change.

Chronic Diseases

Even if a condition isn’t directly connected to reproductive health however, it could still affect fertility. Certain chronic illnesses, along with treatments, may cause fertility issues in all sexes such as:

Diabetes

Hypothyroidism

Periodontal disease

Untreated celiac disease 

Ovulation problems:

Several reasons may cause a female body to not release eggs often and these may include insufficiencies in hormones, eating disorders, thyroid issues, extreme stress, etc.

Issues with fallopian tube:

The most prevalent reason for tubal factor infertility is pelvic inflammatory disorder (PID) and the most frequent reasons for this includes Chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Uterus problems:

These include uterine polyps and fibroids, adhesions (scarring) in the uterus’s cavity. Fibroids and polyps can develop by themselves at any point, whereas Adhesions can develop after an operation such as dilation or curettage.

Fertility Testing

If you’re struggling with fertility problems, one of the most effective things you could do is discussing with a fertility specialist who can suggest certain tests you can take to comprehend your fertility.

If you’re experiencing difficulty in getting pregnant, it’s important to be aware that you must undergo some tests that your doctor will suggest to determine the issues. The reports are necessary to analyze the issue and develop a treatment strategy accordingly that could increase your chances of getting pregnant. Fertility tests generally examine the system which may not be working or any issue in the body functions, for example, it could be a hormonal imbalance that blocks normal Ovulation or a blockage in the fallopian tube, which prevents fertilization.

Once the cause is understood, treatments can be planned such as hormonal drugs to stimulate or regulate Ovulation, or surgery to correct the blockage of the tubal or IVF (IVF).

How can female infertility be treated?

Once the medical expert identifies the infertility reason, they’ll recommend the following possible treatments on the root cause:

Surgery:

If the structural issues like scarring or blockage are causing infertility, the doctor might opt for surgical methods to treat the situation.

Medications:

Fertility medication prescribed by the doctor can help with hormonal imbalances and problems with ovulation and some hormone medications may induce ovulation, helping with egg release.

Antibiotics:

Sometimes the doctors may recommend antibiotics that can remove the inflammation from the reproductive organs of your body.

Fertility Awareness:

Monitoring ovulation by assessing the cervical mucus level or measuring the body’s temperature at rest are two other ways that your doctor could determine your fertility. Couples who are trying to conceive make use of home ovulation predictor kits and mobile apps that monitor their menstrual cycle to determine the ideal time to start trying to conceive.

Fertility Treatment- IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)

A method which allows egg fertilization by sperm outside the womb, IVF is one of the most effective methods to treat infertility, if you do not get successful results from the other strategies for reproduction. The process involves the hormonal control of the ovulatory cycle through the removal of eggs from female ovaries, permitting sperm to fertilize with liquid media. The experts then transfer the fertilized eggs into the uterus of the patient to create the embryo successfully.

The treatment can be used to treat female infertility due to issues with the fallopian tube that make the process of fertilization challenging. For IVF to be successful It could be easier to state that it requires fertile eggs and sperm capable of fertilization and a reproductive organ that can be used to keep the chance of having a baby. Because of the high cost of this procedure, IVF is typically only considered when less cost alternatives were unsuccessful.

Who Is Eligible For IVF?

Check out the following conditions to understand if you are the right candidate for IVF:

Obstructed or damaged fallopian tubes

Male fertility issues

Unable to become pregnant despite taking fertility medications

An unsuccessful IUI operation.

For women younger than 35, it is difficult to naturally become pregnant after trying continuously for one year

Women who are over 35 who cannot naturally conceive six months later or other reasons

Common Reasons for IVF

You may opt for IVF procedure under the following conditions:

Severe male infertility

Fallopian tubes blocked by surgery that are not able to be fixed.

Absent fallopian tubes

Failure to achieve success with IUI

Multiple miscarriages

Severe endometriosis

Polycystic ovary syndrome.

Age

Be concerned about the possibility of passing genetic diseases

What Are the Success Rates for IVF?

The success rates of IVF vary based on a variety of factors, such as the cause of infertility, where you’re getting the process performed and whether the eggs are fresh or frozen or donated or your own, as well as your age.

Prevention

Listed below are some measures that the females may prevent getting fertility issues:

Stop Smoking

Since tobacco is known to pose numerous negative impacts on fertility, it is also bad for your health and that of a baby who is not yet born. If you’re a smoker and would like to attempt to get pregnant, quit smoking today and you can consult your doctor for better assistance.

Avoid Drinking and Street Drugs

Avoid drinking alcohol or using recreational drugs as these substances may hinder your chances to get pregnant and enjoy an uninvolved pregnancy.

Limit caffeine intake

Women must reduce their intake of caffeine if they are trying to conceive and speak to their doctor for suggestions.

Exercise

Regular exercise is essential to a healthy lifestyle, however, exercising too much could make your periods occur less frequently or disappear completely, which may affect fertility.

Maintain An Ideal Weight

Being overweight or obese can affect hormone levels and lead to infertility.

Conclusion

The rate of fertility declines with the aging process in both males and females. If you’ve tried to have a child but the process hasn’t worked then you might be contemplating your fertility and other factors that could or might not affect chances of having children. Shanti Super Speciality Hospital offers several specialized methods of determining infertility issues in women and men, offering couples the greatest chance of having a successful pregnancy.

Every time I see a fic or post about Steve deciding to have children with Robin as a surrogate it's always with an ivf and no. They wouldn't do that. You don't understand the vibe. They would 100% do it at home, classic style. Well, not classic classic. But a close approximation. I'm talking about Steve, or Eddie if this is Steddie, no, scratch that. Steve AND Eddie jerking off and coming into the same cup, getting the mix into a syringe (a baby russian roulette of sorts) and giving it to Robin to just... put it in.

It's cheap, easy, fast... sure, it's a bit weird jerking off when you know your friend is doing the same in the next room (because Steve had insisted that it was more effective if Robin came too "I read it in a book!" "From what century dingus?") But it works!! One try and there it is. A baby dingus in the oven.

random omegaverse thought:

There must be people who experience specific instinct things with indifference or boredom.

Procreative cycle coming up? "Crap, I've got plans this weekend...stupid skip weeks."

Caught an intriguing scent while walking? "But I need to get to work! Shut up brain."

Had a snap response to a distressed sound? "Who was it?! ...right, it's my day off, I can go back to sleep."

Somebody growled at them? "Kid, I'm not a rival, that's my sibling."

Super cozy cuddle session happening nearby? "I'm gonna pass tonight guys, no social battery left, maybe next time."

Group of friends heading out to flirt and check out other singles? "I'm coming with you but only to make sure you all get home safe."

Setting where fated mates or soul bonds or permanent marks are a thing? "Meh. I don't really want one or care if I ever get one."

People in the actual omegaverse would get as bored of their stuff, as we do of ours, you know? It could be interesting to see that kind of vibe in fics. Biological demands faced with all the excitement of paying bills or doing laundry or tying your shoes.

Even if that kind of energy might not drive a plot, it could be interesting to have as a contrast to the people who do have big feelings about them - good or bad.

There's the friends who can't wait til they have a pack of their own, and the one friend who isn't against it but couldn't care less. There's the group in the office who are all about scent compatibility tests and figuring out one's best match and what sprays most highlight it, and the coworker who has no intentions on putting that much effort in. There are parents who hover and protect their offspring by scenting them multiple times a day, and others who don't see what the fuss is as long as it's done in the morning.

...also: packs with introverts who show care by giving each other space. So often, closeness is depicted through physical touch and tactile affection, but comfortable silence is meaningful too. Knowing people are near, but not having to interact until you're ready. Sitting in the same room doing different things, knowing that all it takes is a "hey, look at this" to share what you're up to. People understanding and accepting each other's differing or fluctuating needs for how and when to recharge. Seeing somebody reaching out or sharing space, beyond what's their norm, as a signal of the fact that they care.

i am always upset when pregnancy/inability to conceive/miscarriage/abortion serves as shorthand for books/movies/tv shows to give a female character depth/trauma/motive/hopes and dreams. and i will always be upset when that is the surprise plot point for a female character. obviously that is a big part of many lives! but sometimes it feels like it happens over and over again because writers cannot imagine another way to express a feeling of futility/guilt/a depressive episode/pain and sickness/relationship tension/unfulfilled hopes for women. there is never anything else in media for women. it is always, always fertility. AND YET i understand that this is going to be a big sticking point for severance and that it is extremely in line with the themes of the show! and also that was the best episode of the series and i will be riding the week long high of good appointment television! but you will have to do a lot of work to convince me that a smart, competent woman like gemma in a relationship with love and communication in it would sign up for any sort of sketchy procedure or testing (regardless of how much they lied to her about it) because they told her she would be pregnant at the end of it. and i really hope that is not the case.

A sad prompt

Adam and Lucifer been trying to have a baby together for years but Adam is infertility.

Awww :(

-

Adam cried in the bathroom of his home he shared with his husband Lucifer, the negative pregnancy test on the bathroom counter a beacon for his sorrow.

They've been trying so hard to have a baby, it's all he's wanted for the past four years but it's just not taking.

Lucifer knocked on the door, he gently pushed it open and hugged Adam, the test pulling at his heart strings.

Lucifer: It'll be okay dove.

Adam sobbed: N-no it won't! We're never gonna have a baby!

Lucifer: That's not true, it's just..... Taking us a little longer than normal. I do have some good news.

Adam sniffed: What's that?

Lucifer: Bel can get us in for IVF treatments if you're interested.

Adam gave a wobbly smile and nodded, he wanted a baby so badly he would try anything.

Mood board for my latest project. Little bit of it below the cut.

You eat the lunch you packed and pull off your sweater, the noon sun warming you up enough to not need it, at least for the moment. You putt along to a new spot and try fishing again, this time catching three good sized fish. Surprising, considering the time of day, but sometimes you get lucky. You're thinking about heading back home when you spot a flash of white under the water.

You grab your camera, determined to be ready. And then a grey shape launches out of the water and into your boat, nearly capsizing it. The white orca sluices through the water next to your boat a moment later, regarding you disdainfully with one bloodshot eye. He flicks his tail as he dives again, soaking you and your passenger.

Your seal friend makes himself comfortable at the prow of the boat, entirely too pleased with himself.

"You're on thin ice, mister!" You tell him, turning back the way you'd come. Thanks to him you missed your photo and nearly went for a swim in deep water. You're pretty sure he couldn't help you out of that situation even if he wanted to, especially with a hunter swimming just below. You certainly don't want four inch teeth biting you in half.

Of course, you don't want to see your friend get eaten in front of you either. You know its the way of the ocean, but he's your little buddy.

The white orca cuts across your path again. You stop your engine, heart hammering, and grab your camera. He disappears into the depths for a moment, and then jumps a little ways away. If you didn’t know better, you’d say he was showing off. You get several quick snaps that you know will be gorgeous— Water droplets catching the sun, his ghostly white body stark against the backdrop of the dark ocean. You grin at the seal, and yelp when something thumps the bottom of your boat, rocking it harshly.

Then the white orca (he needs a name, so you land on Ghost) surfaces next to you, terrifyingly close, and spits water at the seal.

“Holy shit,” you breathe, adjusting your lens for the close contact, camera shutter clicking away as you shoot pictures. Ghost eyes you, and then spits water a second time. The seal looks deeply offended, but not concerned, even with his hunter bobbing in the water a few feet away. “Aren’t you a pretty boy.”

He is pretty. A juvenile, maybe, now that you see him up close— He’s a bit small for an orca, but he’s all alone out here, no pod to speak of, and a juvenile wouldn’t survive on it’s own. As if he can hear your compliment, he creaks at you.

The seal barks back. He seems offended by Ghost’s presence. Understandable, since Ghost was trying to eat him earlier. You get a few funny snaps of the two of them regarding each other over the rim of the boat, having a conversation that you have no way of understanding. You feel a bit insane. A bit like you’re going to wake up laying in the bottom of your boat any minute, and this will all be a funny dream.

Something Ene, and only Ene can do, weirdly enough is to tell you that you're a person.

In their world, at least for the artificial humans, how you came to be is quite important. After all, the only reason they are not seen as a human is the method of how they are made. They are made in a lab, they are tools, and that's all they ever will be.

But if Enea, the god whose domain is fertility, the one who allows something to even be conceived, to be born, says that you're a person regardless of how you came to be, then you are a person.

You are a someone and not a something because Enea said so.

It's looking like we might have PCOS, gang.

[chronicsymptomsyndrome]

has anyone reading this ever been offered any kind of pain management after iud insertion or any other kind of “mild” female reproductive procedure? Like am I just getting really unlucky with practices in my area refusing to do that or is that standard??

(quotes bc mild feels soo inaccurate in a general sense but…relative to sterilization, hysterectomy, etc…)

in my alyssa lives au, baelon dies instead (somehow. idk. he gives birth to aegon.) so viserys and daemon are still only raised with one parent but instead of getting a loving if absent father they get the most overbearing boymom this side of the narrow sea.

alyssa wants to try and recreate her relationship with baelon with one of her sons but neither one is a really good pick. viserys is a weird not-boy while daemon is a weird not-girl. but viserys is the eldest while daemon is her sweet baby boy so the brunt of that grooming comes down on viserys. as she tries to force her son into a mold he does not fit. but alyssa doesnt get that. she was groomed into the perfect wife for her brother, she should be able to get the perfect husband out of her son.

alyssa does NOT “save aemma” and infact spends the entire two years that viserys waits for his child bride to at least START puberty before he starts sleeping with her complaining that he “needs to get on with it already” and “be a man” and “give her a grandson”. then when aemma does get her first period alyssas like “well yall dont have any excuse now :/“. and. supervises their delayed wedding night. afterwards shes critiquing viserys performance being like “your father wouldve done it like this.” “your father wouldntve started crying.”

I’m having some like Boring Adult Problems and Inconveniences lately and like, none of them are that bad but combined I’m just overwhelmed.

Also. Forewarning. This tumblr is about to start focusing more on trying to conceive and infertility so if that’s not something you’re comfortable with, unfollow. I make it a point to tag all my posts but occasionally there’s something I miss.

1) Basement- the drywall is up and painted, there were issues with the flooring where we wasted several hundred dollars, and now I’m having someone professionally come to install sheet vinyl. Then my Dad and I will finish the baseboards ourselves. There is a chance the guys who did the drywall did not reconnect my drier properly and we may have to cut into the wall again. My dad assures me it isn’t that big of a deal but I will probs cry lol

2) What kind of dumbass gets a cold in 80 degree weather? Me. That kind of dumbass.

3) My new grad was fired and no one is handling it well.

4) Why is trying to have kids so effing difficult??
