When a couple has been trying to have a baby for more than a year and somehow haven’t managed to conceive, they’re probably facing the problem of infertility. Now, this can happen due to a variety of reasons in both women and men. The first step you need to take is to figure out where the problem lies and then work together as a team to sort it out. Let’s get a better understanding of the possible reasons for infertility:
When it comes to women, decreased ovulation is one of the critical factors. Ovulation problems occur if certain parts of the reproductive system don’t function properly, be it the adrenal glands, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid glands or genitals.
Stress aggravates the ovulation problem, as does age. If you’re in your thirties or older, your ovulation would’ve slowed down considerably.
Then, there are certain medical conditions that can lead to infertility, such as problems with the cervix, blocked fallopian tubes, polycystic ovaries, uterine fibroids, abnormalities in the lining of the uterus, endometriosis and anatomic disorders.
The main reason for infertility in men is a low sperm count. Now, this can be due to various factors, such as one’s lifestyle, wearing tight trousers or briefs, or even soaking in a hot tub for too long! All these factors can lower sperm count. In addition, there’s a medical condition known as variocele which causes irregularly shaped sperm.
The good thing is, when it comes to lifestyle one can make certain changes to alleviate the problem of low sperm count. Quitting smoking, excessive drinking or using illicit drugs can go a long way in sorting out the problem.
Also, keep in mind that at times illness and medications can also cause a temporary lowering of sperm count, which thankfully, can be rectified.
Stress takes a huge toll on a couple’s ability to conceive, as well as, stopping them for conceiving since they’re so stressed out that they have to. So, do watch out for that pitfall. The best way to cope with stress is to:
- Enjoy sex for the sake of sex!
- Learn Eastern breathing techniques that alleviate stress or meditate
- Keep talking to your partner openly and offer each other emotional support
- Quit smoking and avoid excesses when it comes to consuming alcohol, caffeine or illegal drugs
- Exercise regularly to stay fit and be stress free
- Read up on infertility and its treatment.
- Get a medical evaluation immediately. Know the enemy before you attack it!
The good news is, when it comes to women, 90% of infertility issues can be successfully treated. All the best!

So, you think you might be facing the prospect of not being able to have your own baby? That can be traumatic and stressful to say the least. But the thing is, the more you stress yourself out, the lesser the chances of your ever getting pregnant! If you and your partner have been trying for a baby for the last 1 to 2 years, you might like to visit your gynecologist and get a check up.
This holds true especially if you’re a woman over the age of 35 with irregular and painful periods, or you’ve had a miscarriage(s), use an intrauterine device (IUD) or have had surgery in the abdomen or pelvic region.
While couples are trying to conceive, they usually have unprotected sex thrice a week. And when they don’t get results, it can be quite frustrating, not to mention, it kills the fun of having sex! If you think you’re looking at a fertility problem, don’t expect the worst. It could just be something as simple as bad timing! That is, you’re not having sex near your ovulation period.
Having said that, there are certain factors that can increase the risks of infertility in men and women. A woman’s fertility decreases after the age of 32. And the older one gets, there’s a higher risk of miscarriages. As for men, if they’re over 40 years old, they can become less fertile than men younger their age. And then, of course, there’s the added hazard of alcohol and tobacco use.
People who smoke can reduce their chances of getting pregnant, while increasing the possibility of miscarrying. During conception or pregnancy, no level of alcohol is considered safe, though moderate alcohol intake doesn’t seem to interfere with a man’s fertility levels. Likewise, it’s being speculated that excessive caffeine consumption may also lead to a decrease in fertility. Though, the verdict is still out on caffeine it does seem to contribute to the danger of a miscarriage.
Making a case for no excesses and adopting the middle path, too much of anything seems to be counterproductive. If you overdo exercising, you may face difficulties in ovulating. But, if you don’t get enough exercise it can lead to weight issues that has a bearing on fertility.
Women who are seriously underweight due to crash dieting or eating disorders can also have a problem, as do women who are strictly vegetarian. Studies suggest that they might miss out on vital nutrients, such as iron, folic acid and vitamin B12. Ideally speaking, don’t let it come to a stage where you’re too stressed out to conceive. There is help out there, so please don’t suffer in silence…

If your partner and you are just not getting pregnant, know that you’re not alone. As many as 10 to 15% of couples in the United States are facing infertility problems. Now, infertility may be due to one or multiple factors in your partner and/or you. But the good thing is, it can be treated and overcome. You see, for a woman to get pregnant she has to ovulate. Reproduction is a complex process where certain factors have to work just right at the right time.
What happens is, every month the pituitary gland in a woman’s brain sends a signal to the ovaries to start preparing an egg for ovulation. The pituitary hormones then stimulate the ovaries to release the egg. This is the process of ovulation when a woman is considered most fertile. Now, the released egg goes through the fallopian tube and can be fertilized within 24 hours of its release.
A woman is most likely to conceive if she has unprotected sex a day or two before she ovulates. For pregnancy to occur, a sperm needs to unite with the egg in the fallopian tube during this brief window. Now, certain other conditions also have to be met for the woman to conceive. The man has to ejaculate enough sperm into the vagina and it has to be properly shaped and needs to move in the right way. As for the woman, she has to have a healthy and congenial inner environment for the sperm to fertilize the egg. When the egg is fertilized, it moves into the uterus and attaches itself to the uterine lining, beginning a nine month period of growth.
When it comes to men, besides smoking, obesity, sexual problems, alcohol and drug consumption, genetic defects, these are some causes of male infertility:
- Low sperm count, impaired mobility or inability to fertilize the egg are the most common reasons for male infertility. As mentioned earlier, sperm needs to be properly shaped and has to move quickly toward the egg in order to fertilize it.
- Varicocele is a condition wherein the varicose vein in the scrotum doesn’t cool the testicle properly, leading to reduced sperm count.
- Deficiency of testosterone.
- Repeated sexual transmitted diseases (STD’s) can lead to scarring and blockage of the sperm passage.
- Problems with delivering sperm from the penis into the vagina.
- If you suffer from any of these conditions, consult your doctor. Remember there is hope.

Article Writing
Do you love writing? Have you always dreamed of writing a bestseller novel? Well, most successful novelists also had a day job. Here’s a day job that can keep you in the writing field that you love so much and also pay you a decent salary, so that you can still have time left over for your blockbuster novel!
Anyone with a good grasp of the English language can write a few paragraphs of original content. It is even easier to just read a given article and rewrite it. And that is pretty much the job description for one of the most lucrative jobs on the Internet today.
With thousands of new websites being set up every hour, webmasters are in constant need of new content for their webpages. Sometimes a number of websites are developed by spinning the same content into several articles. Most buyers of articles pay between one to two dollars for rewriting an article of 300-500 words. This task can be done in fifteen to thirty minutes depending on your language skills and typing speed.
It is important to write original content – say it all in your own words – as most buyers check for duplication by using copy-detection software like Copyscape and Plagium. If you just cut and paste from some other websites, that will show up on Copyscape and you will lose your assignment and get negative reviews from the buyer.
Proofread your article thoroughly before submitting it, using SpellCheck if you use Word. Even if you aren’t familiar with a topic like say acne or money management or health topics, some time spent browsing relevant websites can give you enough information to write a 500 word article.
That’s the charm of freelance writing online. Your general knowledge improves vastly with the articles you research and write everyday. That will surely help your creative writing too, and pave the way for that blockbuster novel someday!
