Secondary infertility is something that most
women do not expect to experience. This happens when a woman is having
difficulty getting pregnant after having their first child. What makes
this frustrating for couples is that most of them could not pinpoint
what the issue is since they were able to get pregnant and give birth
naturally the first time.
The most common cause of secondary infertility is
age. Women are born with a set number of eggs to release during her
entire lifetime. And a woman’s body releases the best eggs first. This
is the reason why most women have an increase in ovulation
and are in their peak of fertility in their twenties. This also means
that by the time a woman reaches 30, her fertility begins to decline.
Another reason is lifestyle and food choices.
Smoking, junk foods and drinking alcohol are all unhealthy and can be a
factor to secondary infertility. If you want an addition to your family,
it might be time to cut off junk foods, smoking and alcohol,2 and start
doing regular exercises. It can be a exercise at outdoor waterpark with family or go for a regular morning walks.
When you and your partner are experiencing
infertility, it is best to visit your doctor, especially those who have
been trying for more than six months and those women who are 35 years
old and above. Do not hesitate to talk to your doctor. He or she should
be able to assist you and your partner on what to do.
