Main Reasons Why Women Cant Get Pregnant after marriage


 Still not pregnant after a year of trying?
If 100 women don't use any contraception, and have regular sex, 80 to 90 will become pregnant within a year. The average time taken to conceive in women below the age of 30-35 is around nine months. After 35, that average time to get pregnant increases as fertility declines.
So why aren't you pregnant after a year of trying?

Stress

Most women who haven't fallen pregnant quickly become emotional and anxious. This can become a vicious circle, with stress and worry leading to a further delays in getting pregnant. Try to relax, it will increase your chances of getting pregnant.

Sperm problems

These are the largest single identifiable cause for infertility, accounting for about 24% of cases in couples trying to get pregnant. Sperm problems can be due to drugs such as beta-blockers, alcohol, tobacco and cannabis. Infections like mumps can occasionally lead to a permanently low sperm count. More often, low sperm counts are due to an unexplained failure of the sperm-producing cells in the testicle.

Problems with ovulation

Ovulation failure accounts for about 21% of cases of infertility. This is often suspected when periods are irregular, infrequent or very light. Underlying causes of ovulation failure include:
  • Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa
  • Low body weight and low body fat in athletes
  • Premature menopause
  • Polycystic ovary sdyndrome (PCOS). In this condition the ovulation failure may be associated with obesity, acne and hirsutism (excess facial or body hair)
  • Thyroid problems
  • Over-production of a hormone called prolactin by the pituitary gland.

Blockage of the Fallopian tubes

This accounts for about 14% of cases of infertility. The most common underlying problem is pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). This is most often as a result of sexually transmitted infection, particularly chlamydia and gonorrhoea.
Chlamydia infection is currently the most common cause of blocked tubes in young women. It is estimated that 10% of all sexually active young women aged 16 to 25 are currently infected with chlamydia, and that about 10% of infected women will become infertile as a result.
Other causes of PID include infection from coils (IUDs), infection following pelvic surgery, and previous peritonitis (inflammation of the lining of the abdomen) from things like a burst appendix.

Endometriosis

This accounts for about 6% of infertility cases. This is a condition where parts of the lining of the womb (endometrium) find their way outside the womb and into the pelvis. This can damage the tubes, but in most cases this isn't the problem. For some unknown reason, even a small amount of endometriosis can interfere with fertility.

Cervical mucus problems

Sometimes there is a 'mismatch' between the woman's cervical mucus and her partner's sperm, which results in the sperm being unable to get through the mucus, or them being killed off before they can swim up into the womb. This is described as 'hostile mucus', which sounds really unpleasant, but is just bad luck. The mucus may not be hostile to a different partner, but that's not much consolation to a couple suffering from this problem.

'Unexplained infertility'

This accounts for about a quarter of all cases of infertility which are investigated. This means that no cause can be found. Some of these couples will eventually get pregnant, simply a lot more slowly than the average. For every couple who conceive in the first month, there are other couples who take years.
Some other couples have problems getting pregnant because of life rhythm incompatibility, with husbands working away from home and limited amounts of time together. They may have very enthusiastic sex when they get together, but if it's at the wrong time of the month, then nothing happens.

Many women in Nigeria find it hard to conceive after many years of marriage, such matters are not usually discussed and can be very distressing and embarrassing for any women. These are the three main reasons why women in Nigeria don’t conceive
1. many women don’t know when they ovulate; many people believe that ovulation is on the 14th day of a menstrual cycle. That is very false because ovulation can occur very much earlier and also very late in a womans cycle. There are up to ten signs of ovulation, many Nigerian women don’t know of them, but if women can know when they ovulate and time sex for that period then cases of barrenness would be reduced.
2. women become negative; it is understandable why a woman can become very jealous and enraged at every nursing mother because she herself cant have her own babies, well scientific research has shown that the positivity of a womans mind is one of the most important things that can affect her conception.
3. poor sperm health; most women get the blame in the family for not conceiving, this shouldn’t be so because it is a 50:50 contribution from both sexes. Everything a man does from now to the next 90 days, affects the sperm he produces for that period. Some advice I can give to women is this; tell your spouse to reduce smoking and drinking as they both are dangerous to sperm health, encourage him to eat vegetables and fruits more, and also he should avoid tight underwear and jeans because pressure on the testicles decreases sperm health and fertility.
