Why Can it be So Hard to Fall Pregnant?

If you’ve struggled 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.

Alcohol Consumption and Pregnancy

 

Alcohol consumption in pregnant women is still a general topic of debate, but it is becoming more widely accepted that it is not a good idea.

 

If you really do want to drink during your pregnancy, it is advised to drink limited amounts, and if you already are breastfeeding, it is better to express milk, prior to drinking, as the alcohol can remain in the milk supply for a considerable number of hours.

 

For those women that are pregnant, your baby’s blood alcohol level will be the same as yours.

 

However, some women will absorb less than others when drinking a standard drink, and vice versa.

In the majority of cases, if you drank alcohol before you know you were pregnant, it will most likely not have done any damage, but it is advisable to at least reduce your intake subsequently.

The reason to limit alcohol intake is that alcohol has an affect on the brain, and it can limit the brain’s development, which in turn, controls, and can limit other organ development.

 

 

Recent Australian research has proven that women who have more than two standard drinks at a time, or 6 per week, may increase their chances of a premature birth.

 

At the end of the day, my personal recommendation is to be moderate, and reduce your intake of alcohol.

 

Like many things, if you must drink, at least do so in moderation.
