    Can`t get pregnant. What to do?

    Can`t get pregnant. What to do?

    Pregnancy is a natural process with regular sexual intercourse without contraceptives. Despite the fact that this process is completely natural, many factors can prevent the onset of pregnancy. Starting from general physical and psychological condition, to real health problems.

    With the right approach to pregnancy, you need to start with an examination. And the first step is a check with a gynecologist. The doctor will assess the state of the reproductive system and readiness for pregnancy.

    Why you can`t get pregnant – possible reasons

    Pregnancy occurs during ovulation, that is, the release of an egg ready for fertilization from the ovary. It enters the fallopian tubes and, fertilized with a sperm, descends into the uterine cavity, where it becomes fixed and pregnancy develops. If this does not happen, menstruation occurs.

    Having ovulation is a prerequisite for conception. Its offensive is checked using special tests. If during three menstrual cycles they show a negative result, this means that there is no ovulation or this process is disturbed for physiological or pathological reasons. A gynecological examination will help to clarify them.

    In the case when there is ovulation, but pregnancy does not occur, the reason for this may be related diseases.

    What diseases can cause problems with conception?

    There are a number of diseases, with which are less likely to get pregnant. For example:

    • diabetes;
    • obesity, metabolic disorders;
    • pituitary insufficiency;
    • hormonal imbalance;
    • infectious diseases of the reproductive system;
    • polycystic ovary syndrome;

    Polycystic ovary disease is the most common problem that prevents pregnancy. As a rule, it is eliminated by hormone therapy, which stimulates the ovaries. Then conception is possible naturally or through intrauterine insemination.
