Overcoming infertility and preparing for pregnancy is a step by step process and as these pages will show, each successful step covered, means you are that much closer to conceiving!

So you have gone through twelve months of trying and there's been no pregnancy. By this time you are starting to get worried, and will begin to read and research the reasons why this is not happening! When first hearing this dreaded word and it's connotation applied to you, you may feel disbelief, considering the time and money spent on contraceptives, preventing pregnancy.

This may be your first attempt at conceiving, or you may have had one successful pregnancy already. Now second time round, you assume falling pregnant will be easy. Yet, despite trying, there has been no conception. For some, the term infertility is heard with disbelief. For others, the term secondary infertility can create the exact same feeling. We take our bodies for granted and expect it to act on demand, and the normal course of action to ensue.

Patience is a virtue!

Going to see your doctor is a good idea at this point! Specifically if you are older than 35, time is of the essence! We highly recommend this visit as soon as possible. Discussing your inability to fall pregnant may be a sensitive point, and friends and family may be pressurizing you with questions of "When are you going to have a baby"? You do not have the answers and are already feeling bad and may feel like you are failing in the most basic function of the human body.

Discussing a possible fertility treatment plan with your doctor or specialist will be an easier conversation to have, particularly if you have a good and understanding relationship with him/her.

You will have many questions needing answers as to why a such a normal bodily function, like falling pregnant is not happening. Both male and female are affected, in any race or culture. There is no discrimination. The inability to fall pregnant may vary from a minor nature, such as diet, to a more serious medical condition.

This condition may be serious enough, to require medical intervention, with a treatment plan. Only your physician can ascertain this, so the sooner the visit, the quicker a plan of action can be devised.

The good news is, that in most instances and if diagnosed correctly, there is a treatment or action plan. Fertility issues are resolved, and couples go on to have a beautiful healthy baby.

We look into the very many reasons for infertility, as well as secondary infertility, on these pages. There are many success stories! So, if you are in despair, then remember it is a step by step process, which eventually has a wonderful outcome. Enlisting the support of your partner, to be there for each other, will make this tedious journey, that much easier to endure!
