It's essential to note that there are many options, and you should discuss them with your partner and doctors and note the best. This article will explore things you must stop doing to yourself if you are fertility challenged.

Don't Blame Yourself

Sometimes, when fertility issues arise, most people start viewing their lives differently. You start scrutinizing everything you have ever done and wishing you could undo it.  Whatever it might be, it's already been done. It's time to focus, live positively, and move on. You should stop blaming yourself for something. Blaming yourself will only lead to stress, which might even affect your chances of getting better results. It's essential to note that infertility is often unpredictable or not preventable. Moving on and trying to live positively is a good idea.

Stop Living In Two-Week Increments


If you are trying to conceive you will wait for two weeks for ovulation and then wait for another two to take a pregnancy test. This is often very stressful each time, constantly praying that you get a different result. It's essential to try living beyond the two weeks wait.  Look for a support group or support friend to help give emotional and practical support. Additionally, a counsellor may help by listening to your thoughts and worries. 

Don't Wait For A Miracle


If you have tried to conceive for more than a year without success, it's time to visit a doctor. Usually, couples wait to see if they will conceive and ignore the need to see a doctor. They often think that visiting a doctor is only meant for the infertile one. You should note that many factors can lead to infertility, and you require a diagnosis from your doctor. Some of these situations can be reversed, and you can have a chance to conceive.

One of the causes can be the low production of testosterone by the man, also known as male hypogonadism. If that is the case, you need to consider contracting an expert testosterone therapy provider to help you stabilize your testosterone hormone levels. Testosterone therapy will help to boost your sex drive and sperm count, improving the chances of impregnating your spouse. Taking a lot of time praying for a miracle to happen can worsen things. Some conditions need to be dealt with in the early stages before they worsen. The doctors will discuss your options and how long you can wait to avoid losing incredible time.

Stop Seeing Sex as Broken


When having sex with your partner, it's often passionate. But this can change from being passionate to being a chore when trying to conceive. Additionally, with the wrong mentality, you can make sex sound like a reminder of your fertility status. It's essential to consider sex more than just a means of getting pregnant. It's crucial to try rejuvenating and remembering the enjoyment you used to feel and the connection you and your partner had. Improving your sex life with your partner will help keep you connected even as you try to conceive.

Look For A Second Opinion

It can be frustrating when you have tried to conceive for a long time. If you find yourself in such a situation, you can seek a second opinion from another clinic. Additionally, if your doctor tells you they can't treat you until you lose weight but don't tell you how to consider looking for a new doctor. When it's a case of losing weight, ensure the doctor helps treat the hormones that might be causing the imbalances and making losing weight difficult.

Wrapping Up

When you have fertility issues, it's essential to speak to your partner. Additionally, try to live positively as you used to before the need to conceive arose. You can consider looking for a solution from doctors and look for one that will be more beneficial.
