If you haven't been able to get pregnant after months or years of trying there may be physical, environmental, or behavioral problems interfering with conception. Until those issues are addressed and resolved the likelihood of becoming pregnant will remain low.
Physical Problems Or Defects
Physical problems, like defects, are often the easiest to detect because of the medical testing available but can be the most difficult to overcome. Physical issues that are common for women include abnormal ovulation, which can involve infrequent or delayed ovulation.
You may not think your previous relationships have any relevance to your current goal of becoming pregnant, but you may not be aware of a disease that has been acquired and is causing you problems. One of the most common infertility problems involves scaring of the reproductive tract due to PID, or Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. PID is often the result of a sexually transmitted disease, making it one of the more preventable problems for women. Your physical age and the degradation of your reproductive system also plays a large role in your ability to get pregnant and carry the baby to full term.
Environment and Behavior
Behavior and environment that are influencing your ability to become pregnant are the easiest to fix, but can be the most difficult to detect. It should be common knowledge that alcohol consumption, illegal drugs, and excessive smoking can dramatically decrease your chances for getting pregnant. What most people don't consider is how good behavior can also have a negative impact on conception. Exercising and eating healthy are considered good behavior, but when done to extremes it lowers the likelihood of becoming pregnant. When a woman's body fat drops below ten percent, it interferes with her normal cycles and interferes with conception. Carrying too much body fat also has a negative impact on your ability to get pregnant.
Infertile Partner
Women often go through extensive fertility tests only to realize that it's not there reproductive system that's abnormal. Once considered a female problem, it's now widely accepted that infertility and problems getting pregnant are just a likely to be caused by the male. When both the female and male are struggling with infertility at the same time, it dramatically decreases the odds of becoming pregnant.
