We’ll help you understand your monthly cycle and how your age may affect your ability to conceive. We’ve also got lots of diet and lifestyle tips to help you get your life and body in great shape for having a baby.
Did you know that your emotions can affect your fertility, too? In this section, you’ll discover how. You’ll also learn how long it’s likely to take you to conceive and what to do if it’s taking longer than you’d hoped.
Fertility problems
If you think you may have fertility problems – for example, if you’ve been trying for a baby for a long time with no results, it’s probably a good idea to speak to your Doctor, who can refer you to a fertility clinic. There may be nothing wrong with either you or your partner, but the clinic can help you both rule out physical problems that might be easy to treat.
Common fertility myths
There are lots of myths and misinformation about infertility and is causes. Here’s the low-down on what’s true and what’s not.
Can emotions affect your fertility?
The time when you’re trying to get pregnant can be incredibly stressful and can be an emotional rollercoaster. We asked the author of the book 'Trying to Conceive', Michaela Ryan, to talk to some Bounty mum and share her advice and tips on how to get over your emotional barriers whilst trying to conceive.
Fertility treatments
If you’ve been trying for a year or more to get pregnant (or six months if you are 35 or over), you may be starting to think about fertility treatment. Here’s a quick run-down of what’s available
Male fertility
One in three cases of infertility are caused either by a problem with the man’s fertility or with both partners; so it’s worth both of you being tested at an early stage.
How does age affect your fertility?
Many women these days are leaving it later than ever to have children. In the past, couples typically started families in their early twenties, whereas now many wait until their thirties or forties to get pregnant.
Fertility drugs
There are many different fertility drugs. None of them come with a guarantee of success but they do have a pretty good track record.
Fertility tests
If you’re worried that it’s taking you too long to conceive, it makes sense to ask for tests. First your doctor and then, if necessary, a specialist clinic can check out different aspects of your fertility.
