Infertility Information

If you and your partner have been trying to conceive a child for one year and it hasn’t happened yet, technically you are experiencing “infertility.” And while it may feel like everyone else you know can make a baby at the drop of a hat, there are many other couples out there with a similar struggle. About 6 million American couples are affected by infertility, roughly 10 percent of the reproductive age population. It’s not just a female problem — men and women contribute about equally to the cause.

But the news is not all bad. Proven fertility treatments help many couples conceive, and improved, high-tech medications and new microsurgery techniques are boosting success rates.

And here’s some more good news: while some causes of infertility are hereditary, there are things you can do to preserve and enhance your fertility. Studies show that age, general health (e.g. smoking and diet) and contraceptive use can all have an impact on your ability to get pregnant.

Biological Clock Marches On

As you and your partner grow older, it becomes more and more difficult to conceive a child. And judging from the results of a recent American Infertility Association survey, many women don’t grasp the extent to which age impacts fertility. Women who postpone trying to conceive a child say they’re astounded to learn they can’t easily get pregnant in their late 30s or early 40s.

But a new study reports the biological clock is alive and ticking: a woman’s fertility starts to decline in her late 20s, and for men, fertility begins to drop after age 35. A woman is born with her lifetime supply of eggs, which numbers about 300,000 by the time she reaches puberty. Throughout her life, the number of eggs declines and they are less likely to be fertilized. The risk of miscarriage increases as you grow older, too.

If you discover you do have a problem getting pregnant, the sooner you see a doctor, the better. Women in their 20s and early 30s have higher success rates with fertility treatment than older women.

Healthy Habits Can Help

The way you live your life on a daily basis can affect your fertility. Keeping fit with a regular exercise program helps keep your weight and blood pressure down. But too much exercise on the part of the man and the woman can affect hormones, and make it difficult to become pregnant.

Diet, too, is a factor in fertility. Eating too little protein can affect a woman’s ovulation. Men who want to preserve their fertility should eat a balanced diet, as their testosterone levels drop if they eat too few calories or too much high-fat meat.

Smoking and drinking both make it harder for a couple to conceive. Studies show that cigarette smoking causes a woman’s eggs to deteriorate more quickly, and brings on early menopause. Smoking also increases the risk of miscarriage. Men who are binge drinkers or chronic alcoholics may produce abnormally shaped sperm, and women alcoholics may experience irregular ovulation.

Too much stress may affect your fertility. On top of that, the struggle to get pregnant creates its own kind of stress, taking your anxiety to a whole new level. It’s a vicious cycle that escalates as each month goes by. Take an objective look at the sources of stress in your life, and try now to diminish them so they don’t pose a problem later.

If you’re having trouble getting pregnant, consider seeking medical help before too many more months go by. Know the facts about your fertility – the more knowledge you have the better choices you can make.
