All,
So a friend of mine is planning a family and haven’t gotten pregnant yet. Her gynac said they it may happen right away or may take even a year to conceive. Well, i don’t really understand this.
If a fertile man and woman are having frequent sex, what really leads to not getting pregnant?
In: Biology
A few issues. First you don’t really hear about the couple that had sex once after a drunken bar hookup with some person they’ve only known for a few hours. People don’t brag about that.
Second people don’t really discuss their family planning when it results in a successful pregnancy quickly.
Third especially for couples that are older, there are a lot issues. A woman is born with all the eggs she’ll ever have. So, in her mid to late 30s, the eggs are also almost 40 years old too. The viability of those eggs declines. Even though the man continuously produces more sperm spells the quality also starts to decline as he ages. Both of those can be hurdles.
Finally planning to get pregnant is really stressful. When the woman’s fertility window opens up, you’re having sex no matter what. Doesn’t matter if you’ve had a really bad or hard day at work and not in the mood. Doesn’t matter if you just got into a big argument with your partner. You constantly get told stories of freinds and famiy who sat on a toilet wrong and got pregnant.
Each month that passes by adds to the stress. Should we go to a fertility treatment? Can we afford it? What’s wrong with her? What’s wrong with him? You try every crazy thing you can, eat more this, less than, wear this kind of underwear, sleep in this position after sex, and so on.
