Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi Friends,
I'am new to this discussion board, I hope will get good responses.
I'am 27 yrs old ,it's been 4 yrs am married.After wedding within 8-9 months I got pregnant,but that time circumtances was not strong so we abort a pregnancy.I had gone through non-surgical method ,doctor gave me some pills to insert in vigina and some I took orally.

Now from last 3 months we were trying to conceive,it's 4th month...but still not getting success.I had gone through thyroid and all preconception test...by god's sake every thing is normal.
I'am taking BBT too,but still could not find out exact fertile period in my cycle.I never thought we will take long time to conceive, little bit fustrated...regreating about past.
I'am just wooring about my past, does my abortion will affect on coceiving?
Does anybody has gone through such tough time.
I will appricate your replies and experiances.

Thanks,

For a percentage of adult couples desiring children, infertility is a problem they not only don’t know they have but, in fact, are sure they don’t have. Their first children are conceived with ease and they have no reason to believe that making that child a big sister or big brother will be any more difficult…until they actually try to do so. Much has been written on whether secondary infertility is more or less psychologically devastating and while the debate will rage on, all agree that for anyone who wants children (or more children) the emotional pain is real and intense.
“Why me (us)?”

Secondary infertility is generally defined as the inability of a couple to conceive after a year of unprotected and appropriately timed intercourse when one or both partners have previously conceived children. Both male and female factors may be involved and in about one-quarter of the cases the cause is multi-factorial.

Age

The most prevalent cause of secondary infertility may be age. Much has been written about aging and women’s fertility. Women are born with all of the oocytes they will ever have and female fertility peaks in the mid-twenties to mid-thirties. Menopause, of course, occurs when there are no more oocytes. The decrease in fertility by 35 years of age is marked. By age 40 the spontaneous pregnancy rate is significantly lowered and at age 45 the chances of natural conception with unprotected and well timed intercourse are, at best, approximately 6% per cycle. Older oocytes (eggs) have been around longer and have been exposed to more environmental factors which may contribute to a decrease in egg quality. Single gene mutations may be responsible for spontaneous interruption of early pregnancies therefore it is not surprising that along with the decrease in natural pregnancy rate comes an age related increase in spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) rate. When one also considers that many spontaneous abortions occur before a woman even knows that she is pregnant it is easy to see why female age is a significant factor in the etiology of secondary infertility.

Less has been written about male age and fertility. Men, after all, normally go on producing new sperm throughout their adult life. Newer studies, however, have shown a decrease in both the quality and quantity of sperm produced by older men. Thus paternal age is no longer an insignificant factor to consider.

Couples Factor

One factor that occasionally contributes to the creation of a secondarily infertile couple is the introduction of a “new partner”. A female or male who has previously successfully conceived may become secondarily infertile with a new partner.

Pathology

Successful conception relies upon the production of healthy sperm and oocytes that meet and fuse in a supportive environment. Interruption of any step along this complex pathway may result in infertility.

In women, tubal blockage and abdominal adhesions are responsible about one third of the time for the diagnosis of infertility, ovulatory issues (anovulation, premature ovarian failure, ovulation irregularities) are responsible about 25% of the time though this, as previously mentioned, increases significantly with age and uterine factors (including endometriosis, a condition where uterine tissues are located outside of the uterus) are thought to be a contributing factor in approximately 30% of. Once again, it is important to remember that there may be multiple etiologies in the same couple and that many of these etiologies may develop after the first successful conception.

In men, acquired defects in spermatogenesis, blockage in the semen delivery system and impotence are the primary contributing factors to infertility. Some of the causes of these problems are relatively reversible and easy to correct others less so.

Niki replied. Hi Shilu,

If once conceived and then not able to conceive is called secondary infertility, and those who have never become pregnant comes under Primary infertility

There are more chances in Secondary Infertility to conceive as it has happened in the past. I come under primary infertility.

all the best and keep informing. Baby replied. Hi Shilu,

I am 23 yrs old, after marriage with in 6 month I became pregnant, but we thought early so I abort a pregnancy. I thought we take a wrong discussion I may not conceive Afterwards.
But I conceive in next 7months.
No need to worry about past? Before I also think like that but it’s all in the god’s hands. Try ur level best.U will differently conceive soon
Niki replied. Hi Shilu,

Its very sad to know abt the abortion. Being mother makes a woman complete, its a god's gift to us. U shudnt have aborted. Anyways, as urs is secondary infertility u have higher chances of conceiving. So dont worry. U can consult some good infertility expert in ur city. They would help u click ur time of ovulation thru scanning.

Wish u good luck
