When is the best reproductive period? What condition is called infertility? When do I need medical attention? Tongji Junlai will provide you with science popularization. Understanding the facts will help you make medical and decision-making decisions.
What is infertility
A couple did not have contraception and had normal sexual life for at least 12 months without obtaining a clinical pregnancy. A person who has never had a history of pregnancy before and has not been pregnant for more than 12 months without contraception is referred to as primary infertility; A person who has a previous history of pregnancy and has not been pregnant for 12 consecutive months without contraception is referred to as secondary infertility.
You should know that infertility is mostly a sub infertile state, except for diseases such as complete ovarian function decline, congenital hypothalamic amenorrhea, and fallopian tube blockage. Generally, infertility is not a complete lack of natural pregnancy opportunities, but a sub infertile state, indicating that one day one may become pregnant. There are too many examples of this type of pregnancy after long-term infertility and adoption of a child; After several IVF failures, she suddenly became pregnant; Promoting ovulation several times without pregnancy, stopping but becoming pregnant, and so on. So don't despair, work hard, the baby will come.
2. What is the probability of infertility
82% of couples are pregnant for one year; 92% of couples are pregnant for two years; The total incidence rate of infertility is 10-12%. The incidence rate of infertility is very high, but there is still a chance to continue the trial pregnancy, but you should seek medical advice when appropriate.
3. How long to prepare for pregnancy and not to be pregnant need to be checked
<(less than) 35 years of age for one year of infertility, it is necessary to examine the cause of infertility;
Female spouses older than 36 years should be examined for the cause of infertility after 6 months of trial pregnancy;
A history of known diseases that can lead to infertility, such as azoospermia, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), amenorrhea, and ovarian surgery, requires early evaluation of fertility.
Therefore, not everyone has an equal chance of becoming pregnant. Age and disease affect fertility. If you are infertile, seek medical attention in a timely manner to avoid delaying the timing.
4. How much effect does age have on fertility
Seven couples aged 30 to 34 are infertile; Five couples aged 35-39 years and one infertility; Four couples aged 40-44 years and one infertility; Most women over the age of 50 lose their fertility. The older you are, the lower your chances of becoming pregnant. When you enjoy life, make a birth plan as soon as possible. Some things just don't come back when it's too late!
5. Is not pregnant a woman's problem
Infertility is a matter for both spouses; Men and women have equal effects on the occurrence of infertility; To check the cause of infertility, it is necessary to check the male first, because the infertility test should be simplified first and then complex, making it more convenient for men to check.
"Pregnancy requires both parties to provide sperm and eggs separately, so it is wrong to only examine the woman for infertility or to examine the woman first.".
How to choose natural conception, artificial insemination, and in vitro babies?
nature conceived
A normal woman ovulates every month. After maturing in the ovary, an egg is expelled from the ovary and transported to the uterus through the fallopian tube. The pregnancy process is formed by the combination of a mature egg and sperm in the fallopian tube, also known as natural conception.
Artificial insemination
Artificial insemination refers to the method of artificially injecting male semen into the cervix or uterine cavity of a woman to assist in conception, mainly used for infertility caused by male causes.
IVF
"Take both the eggs and sperm outside the body and allow them to complete the fertilization process in an artificially controlled environment outside the body. Then, transfer the early embryos to a woman's uterus, where they are conceived as children.".
Although the selection of pregnancy methods is closely related to the difficult situation of infertility, natural conception>artificial fertilization>in vitro fertilization should be selected from the perspective of eugenics and optimal pregnancy methods. Therefore, if all three methods of conception can be selected, it is recommended that couples preparing for pregnancy give priority to natural conception. Of course, if it is difficult for a pregnant couple to make a decision, they can choose the appropriate method of pregnancy under the guidance of a doctor based on their own situation.
