Welcome
To be here – there is no apparent reason why no conceptions have occurred.
This includes now, on IVF. WHY? They are not investigating and crossing off why nature is not working at home.
IVF used to be for blocked tubes – as the sperm was fine. Not now. When ICSI (injecting a sperm into the egg) was developed, sperm to be used had to be useful – had to be at least 15 % looking normal – now they use any sperm and this is a huge issue – as getting pregnant and being with a baby in arms are polarities apart. A beginning pregnancy with a loss is no joke.
REASONS: early pregnancy loss
These include – NOT GOOD ENOUGH sperm (early miscarriages before 8 weeks)
‘Chemical’ pregnancies – shows up as pregnant but very early loss. likely sperm again.
Constant miscarriages – likely low progesterone and this is not blood testing by BBT (should be 37.2/3C to hold the pregnancy) – see more here
BEFORE IVF . .
There was what is now missing – common sense.
Ask reasonable questions and search out what needs fixing FIRST as it is highly invasive, distressing, hopeful and expensive to force babies on a body that is saying NO presently. Why would it?
Work out what the issues are – and correct them as IVF is the top of the ladder and let us climb up the rungs.
Invariably it is the men – as their fertility has been disappearing since 1980, and as there are clinics to shortcut Nature, this gets all the airplay.
BUT – quality matters – of babies, of pregnancies and before all of this – the sperm made.
You need the best swimmers – and so many of them – see here for a great BBC doco on this.
(The Great Sperm Race)
NEVER CONCEIVED:
WHY?
1 – Both may have blocked tubes
2 – He has no sperm
3 – She has health issues showing up as a broken ‘baby factory’ – of all descriptions and will likely be pain, bleeding troubles., though blocked tubes (typically unresolved past STD) may be no symptoms – just no conceptions).
4 – One or both, may be producing anti sperm antibodies.
5 – Womb in wrong position and if sperm is fine – just not getting in. (either correct position, or deep rear penetration – usually then too painful.
I start with HIM – as he is the most important – once he has added in his contribution – that is all.
She takes it from there – but WITH WHAT?
1 – WHAT IS NEEDED? – HOT ROD/COOL BALLS
2 – GADGET NEEDED
3 – HISTORICALLY MEN WERE TOO FERTlLE (plus how to fix hot balls)
Unexpected pregnancies – how do they happen? They made some changes
I spent some work on them both – with the hands-on magic that maybe needed – especially for the womb positioning.
