For some women it is enough to pass close to a underwear extended on the clothesline that ready, they get pregnant! But for some, the difficulty of getting pregnant is a reality that persists in existing.
What many women do not know is that this difficulty to get pregnant can come from reasons that they do not even dream of. Reasons that can be simple but also complex, such as hydrosalpinx, which is an accumulation of hostile fluids in the tubes and even in the cervix caused by an infection.
The fact is that this difficulty in getting pregnant should be investigated as soon as possible. Most doctors say that a year of trying would be a good term for a natural pregnancy.
If that period extends, something may be wrong and then compromise the fertility of the couple who want to have a baby. Where to start then?
As already said in the book ” How to get pregnant, a brief manual for the mad tryers “, the difficulties to get pregnant can come from one part of the couple or even both. We can say that the most recurrent difficulties to get pregnant are:
- Polycystic ovary
- Obstructed French Horns
- Intra-mural fibroids
- Endometriosis
- Hydrossalpinge
- Uterine infections
- Inept mucus
- Anovulação
The most common factor for those who have difficulty getting pregnant is certainly anovulation. Without ovulation, pregnancy doesn’t happen, right? So a hormone test is ideal before investigating anything.
If anovulation is the case, the doctor will recommend a treatment with inducers and other hormone replacers so that everything comes into place and then the woman is able to get pregnant.
Tip: For those who have difficulty identifying their mucus or who suffer from vaginal dryness, they can use fertility-friendly lubricating gels like FamiGel. They play the role of the woman’s mucus and even increase the mobility of sperm, increasing the chances of conception.
For this to happen, the couple must seek a trusted gynecologist. Once investigations are started to find out the causes of the difficulty in getting pregnant, the doctor should order an ultrasound in conjunction with these blood tests . Hormonal tests that are:
- Progesterone
- Estrogen
- FSH
- LH
- Prolactin
- T4 and T3 (thyroid)
With the hormonal part all right, now it’s the uterus’ turn. Check for the presence of polycystic or even endometriosis or tubes with adherence. If everything is fine and the doctor does not notice anything different, another time of attempts is advised.
If the couple still does not become pregnant, it can be determined that that couple has an unseen infertility. This infertility may be incompatible at the time of the cycle when that couple has relationships or even some other type of more complex problem such as hostile mucus for example.
If there has been an investigation of the couple and nothing has been found it is a personal choice of how each couple will behave. Some doctors recommend procedures in addition to induction, programmed coitus, for example. In addition to it, artificial insemination and even IVF.
One factor that draws attention and that has had more and more proven cases every day is anxiety. Sometimes the difficulty of getting pregnant can be psychological! The anxiety takes over the woman or couple, causing complicate everything. A month feels like a year and that gets in the way.
Keeping calm is a precious tip for this couple’s tempting moment. Another secret is confidence in the doctor being consulted, we are often afraid if everything is within the reach of the professional.
It is not normal to spend more than a year trying and not getting pregnant, an investigation must be done! How to know that the professional is good? Follow your heart! If he asked for all the exams and is interested in helping is a good parameter too.
If something is diagnosed that prevents the pregnancy from happening don’t worry. Medicine is more and more modern, but we must not fail to do our part. Eat well , take the necessary exams and date in the fertile period!

My name is Dr. Alexis Hart I am 38 years old, I am the mother of 3 beautiful children! Different ages, different phases 16 years, 12 years and 7 years. In love with motherhood since always, I found it difficult to make my dreams come true, and also some more after I was already a mother.
Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
