What Are The Signs of Infertility?

By Emmanuel Palmer


If you are reading this you are probably eager to start a family but you seem to have some problems getting pregnant. Before you start worrying too much about what might be wrong with you, you might want to check with a couple of details that contribute to the outcome of your mission to create a baby.

Are you on top of your ovulation schedule? Sometimes, your fertility problems can be solved simply by having intercourse at the most optimum time of the month. Fertility calculators are highly effective in aiding you through this. If your baby making attempts still has no success after a year of unprotected sex; then you may have to consider internal problems that may have affected your ability to conceive.

What are signs of infertility we should watch out for? Sometimes the inability to conceive a child is directly linked to the lifestyle one chooses to have. If you avoid harmful practices like smoking, drinking alcohol or consuming too much caffeine, you greatly increase the chance for you to conceive successfully. Often times though, the cases are medical in nature. A common symptom of infertility is amenorrhea.

Amenorrhea is when the menstrual cycle of the woman ceases. Every woman should have menstruation; save if she is yet to experience puberty, is currently pregnant, or is already in menopause. If you are neither of these and you have no menstruation, visit your doctor immediately. Be aware though that it will take several cycles before menstruation returns to its normal pattern if you have just been taken off birth control pills.

There are several possible causes of amenorrhea in women. Sometimes the ovaries fail to produce hormones essential in ovulation, or a malfunction in the regular functioning of the reproductive organs. Other times the nervous system or the pituitary gland (gland responsible for growth and sex hormones) act up and contribute to failure to conceive.

Weight issues for men and women are also possible signs of infertility. Obesity can be a result of a hormonal imbalance that makes conception a near impossibility for some. Being too thin, or having too little body fat will force the body to conserve energy through stopping of the menstrual cycle, or even produce the adequate quantity and quality of sperm.

Infertility in men is not as obvious as that of the women's. It is usually in physical and anatomical abnormalities like undescended testicles that make for unviable sperm quality. Men should steer clear of overly tight pants, as well as exposing their scrotum to intense heat. A sperm analysis may be needed to confirm any suspicion of infertility. Any sexual dysfunction he has may also be an index of fertility problems

If you have problems getting pregnant, it is always advisable to seek expert opinion before taking any form of medication or treatment. Unfortunately for many, infertility is an irreversible condition they need to live with. Take a thorough check-up and ask your doctor about alternative options and the best course of action to take.
