About Care IVF
So you want to have a baby - that's marvelous!!
It should, after all, be simple enough, or so you may have always assumed.
If your own fertility and that of your partner is normal there will be roughly a
25% chance of becoming pregnant as a result of unprotected intercourse during the
fertile period of each cycle. With months of trying it is expected that about 85%
couples will achieve a pregnancy by the end of the first year.
You and your partner have tried for months, perhaps for even more than a year. But
despite sexual intercourse without birth control, you've been unable to conceive
a child. This is not helped by the apparent ease that others around you seem to
have in conceiving; your sister having her second baby, your friend having a termination
of pregnancy, babies in ads and all over TV - everyone is having a baby except you
- even people who don't want one !!!!
If you've been trying to conceive for more than a year, there's a good chance that
something may be interfering with your reproductive function.
Infertility, also known as subfertility, is the inability to conceive a child within
one year of unprotected intercourse. Infertility may be due to a single cause in
either you or your partner, or a combination of factors that may prevent a pregnancy
from occurring or continuing. It affects about 15% of couples.
On this site I have put together the information that I usually pass onto patients
when I counsel them as well as useful information collected from various sources.
I hope this gives you a rough idea about the problem at large. It will be my endeavor
to constantly upgrade the information given here so your valuable suggestions are
always welcome.
