Nowadays, the country has allowed couples to have two children, so too many women are actively preparing for a second child, hoping to have another baby. Preparing for a second pregnancy is a very important matter. Many women actively prepare for pregnancy, but they have not become pregnant after 6 months, which makes couples who are preparing for pregnancy very anxious. So what if I don't get pregnant after 6 months of preparing for my second child?
What's wrong with not getting pregnant after 6 months of preparing for a second child
1、 Female factors
Female factors account for about 70% of the causes of secondary infertility, mainly reflected in the following four aspects:
1. Tubal obstruction
Inflammation, infection, surgical injury, etc. can directly or indirectly cause fallopian tube diseases, leading to blockage, hydrosalpinx, and poor patency of the fallopian tubes. Sperm and egg cannot combine smoothly, or the fertilized egg formed by the combination cannot be transported to the uterus, resulting in infertility or ectopic pregnancy.
2. Uterine diseases
The uterus is the site of fertilized egg implantation and fetal development, and is also an important cause of secondary infertility, such as uterine scars, thin endometrium, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and intrauterine adhesions after cesarean section. The function of the uterus will be damaged, which will affect women's pregnancy.
3. Ovarian diseases
Ovarian diseases are also a major cause of secondary infertility, with poorer ovarian function as age increases. Ovarian dysfunction or diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome and ovarian cysts prevent the formation of dominant follicles or normal ovulation, leading to female infertility.
4. Endocrine disorders
The female endocrine and ovary are the same, the incidence rate will increase with age, and is easily affected by external factors. Endocrine regulation affects the metabolism and physiological functions of the human body. If there is an imbalance in the secretion of various hormones in the endocrine system, women cannot conceive normally.
2、 Male factors
Male factors are also one of the reasons why a second child was not conceived, which is often overlooked by some couples who have already given birth.
Poor quality of sperm and semen
As age increases, coupled with long-term smoking, alcohol abuse, and reproductive system inflammation, the quality of male sperm and semen continues to decline, and the number of oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia, and malformed sperm continues to increase, leading to delayed pregnancy or miscarriage in women who have given birth to a second child.
What should I do if I haven't conceived my second child after 6 months of preparing for pregnancy
Any of the above factors that cause problems can lead to the inability to conceive a second child. Experts suggest that if the second child has been preparing for pregnancy for more than a year and has not become pregnant, both husband and wife should promptly go to a professional hospital for examination, identify the specific reasons for non pregnancy, and receive targeted treatment.
The older one is, the poorer their fertility and physical condition, the earlier they seek medical attention, the better their disease treatment and physical care effects, and the higher their success rate of pregnancy.
Preparing for a second pregnancy is a very important matter. What's going on if you haven't conceived after 6 months of preparation? What should we do? As a woman actively preparing for a second pregnancy, we all hope to conceive a baby as soon as possible. If you haven't conceived for a long time, it's best to refer to the reasons in this article and take proactive measures to regulate and treat it.
