Understanding Infertility and How it Relates
to You
There may come a time in your life when you decide
you would like to conceive a child. Once you and
your partner embark on the journey to parenthood,
you may be amazed at the feelings you go through
– excitement, fear, anxiety, anticipation,
all merged into one ultimate desired outcome,
having a baby of your own. However, the path to
parenthood may not be as quick and easy for some
couples as it is for others.
Many women do not realize they have conditions
that contribute to or cause infertility until
they attempt to conceive. The fact is, infertility
is diagnosed more often than one may think with
approximately one in seven or 15 percent of couples
of reproductive age experiencing this problem.
Couples should also be aware that many factors
in both a man
and a woman
can lead to fertility problems.
The good news is, there are options available
to treat infertility today that did not exist
only a few years ago and treatments that did exist
are performed with greater precision and success
than in the past.
In order to maximize your chances of becoming
pregnant, you first need to recognize when it
is time to seek help. You also need to know what
criteria to look for in a fertility specialist.
