Accepting Secondary Infertility

Is there such a thing as secondary infertility. You bet. Secondary infertility is an interesting condition especially when you consider a couple, already with children, suddenly find infertility becoming a problem. So what is secondary infertility and why does it occur?

The question is always asked by couples…” If we were able to have a child first time around, then why is it so difficult this time?” It’s a vexing question and quite legitimate. You can understand a couple’s frustration trying to deal with secondary infertility. So let’s explore some of the possible reasons for secondary infertility.

Examining Family Dynamics

Some of the reasons for secondary infertility can be as simple as not having time or energy for intercourse at your most fertile time of the month because of the demands of your other children.

What About Physical Peak

It could have been several years since you had the first baby and your peak fertile time has passed. Women are their most fertile in their mid-twenties to mid-thirties. Infertility starts casting a greater shadow after 38 and more so after forty.

Significant weight gain by not shedding the pregnancy pounds can also lead to a hormonal imbalance and difficulty in conceiving. Loss of original partner with who the woman had the first child can raise a red flag for reproductive endocrinologists. The new partner may need some additional testing. Other more complicated factors could be polycystic ovarian syndrome, abortions or miscarried pregnancies and uterine or pelvic disorders after the first child was born.

Can Grief Play A Major Part?

One of the emotional rollercoaster rides with secondary infertility is also when couples struggling with primary infertility feel that secondary infertility patients are being ungrateful. ‘At least they have one child’ and ‘At least they have gone through the pregnancy and child birth experience once’ is what they have to say. This can also be a reason why many secondary infertility cases are not talked about.

Couples with secondary infertility issues then seem to play it a little more low key because of their perceived criticism. This is definitely not the way to face up to the problem. For starters, it allows negativity to creep in therefore affecting the state of mind and always in these instances,a positive mind is best. Take it step by step. Allow yourselves a time frame of how long you will keep trying. Consider alternatives if you don’t have success such as adoption. In the end, always prepare yourselves for the fact that it may not happen again for you naturally.
