When you decide to have a child, the fundamental thing is not to stress and do it in a relaxed way, it is not convenient to get nervous and obsess. All doctors recommend trying to have unprotected sex for at least a year, depending on the age of the patient, under 35 years.
It is advisable to carry out a fertility diagnosis if the woman is over 35 years old and has been trying to get pregnant naturally for at least 6 months. You always have to study the couple, first the man and then the woman.

Infertility affects approximately one in eight couples in the United States, or about 15% of the population.
Infertility is found in both men and women and affects almost an equal number of men and women. Approximately one-third of infertility is attributed to the female partner, one-third is attributed to the male partner, and one-third is caused by a combination of problems in both partners. However, about 20 percent of infertility cases are “unexplained,” even after a full diagnostic evaluation.
Symptoms for women may include:
- Abnormal, irregular or painful periods
- Missing periods
- Skin changes, including more acne
- Changes in sexual drive and desire
- Dark hair growth on the lips, chest and chin
- Hair loss or thinning
- Unexplained weight gain
- Hot flashes
- Painful intercourse or inability to have intercourse
- Breast discharge (galactorrhea)
Symptoms for men may include:
- Pain, lump, or swelling in the testicles
- Problems with erections and ejaculations
- Small and firm testicles
- Changes in hair growth
- Changes in sexual desire
Yes. Age is the most important factor influencing a woman’s fertility. At birth, women have all the eggs they will ever have. As a woman ages, her eggs also age, decreasing in quantity and quality. Currently, there are no methods or treatments available to stop or reverse this process. At age 30, a woman’s chance of conceiving each month is about 20 percent. At 40, it’s about 5 percent.
Yes. The quality of a man’s sperm declines with age starting at age 40. However, the decline in fertility occurs much more slowly in men than in women.
As with any other medical procedure, there are some risks with IVF treatment. However, most IVF risks are minimal and mild. For example, stimulation of the ovary can cause a state where the ovaries are swollen and painful. This could cause nausea, lack of appetite, or vomiting. Serious symptoms only occur in about 1% of cases, according to the American Pregnancy Association.
There is no simple answer to this question. The success of the treatment depends on the physiology of the patient, the skill of the physician, and a number of other factors. To give yourself the best chance of success, you should choose an infertility clinic with an experienced doctor who is comfortable with a range of fertility treatments. In some cases, IVF may not be the right treatment to help you get pregnant.
