Infertility Normalcy
Studies have shown that women between the age of 15 and 44 that find it difficult to conceive may lose their baby either before or after completing 20 weeks of pregnancy.
This can be because of many reasons and they are listed below.
- A woman that was never pregnant before plans to conceive. But she was already on birth control pills. She stops taking the pills and yet fails to conceive even after trying for a year. This is known as a primary infertility issue.
- A woman, who already has a child cannot conceive a second child even after trying for more than a year. This is called secondary infertility.
The female infertility issues can be diagnosed with the help of some blood tests, pelvic exams, hysteroscopy, a transvaginal ultrasound, and so on. Male infertility is tested with the help of a scrotal ultrasound, blood test, and semen analysis.
Based on the results, the gynecologists in New York will suggest possible medical treatments or medications for rectifying the issue.
