Where Do I Belong; Secondary or Primary Infertility

The word Infertility means the inability of a man or woman to contribute to conception. It may also be referred to as the state of a woman who is unable to carry a pregnancy to full term (9-10months). There are many causes of this fame called infertility, some which may be bypassed with medical intervention and some which are for life.

Most women who are fertile experience natural period of fertility before and during ovulation , and they are naturally infertile during the rest of the menstrual cycle. This fertility awareness method is been used to know or discern when lots of changes occur; by checking and observing changes in cervical mucus or body temprature.

There are two types of infertility; Primary Infertility and Secondary Infertility.

Primary infertility can be defined as inability to get pregnant with your first baby through natural or artificial means.

Secondary infertility is referred to as difficulty conceiving after successfully completing a first pregnancy. This type of infertility is often a surprise to women since they have previously had a child without difficulty.
Most people believe that once you had one child, you have proved yourself to be fertile and will therefore have no problem conceiving the second time or in the future. Secondary infertility is so common that there is up to 50% cases of it, yet, many fail to see this type of infertility as a problem that needs urgent and proper solution.

Just like those experiencing primary infertility (that is when a couple is unable to conceive for the first time), couples that are affected by secondary infertility are much likely to get infertility treatment. This is because of the misconception that once you’re fertile, you’ll always be or remain fertile.

Now that you have known your stand and the group you fall into, do not wait for fertility to happen naturally, seek medical advice in both ways, then wait, for it will one day happen.
