What is for Fertility?<\/h3>\n

Having a baby is a\u00a0pivotal and life-changing event<\/strong>\u00a0in one\u2019s life \u2013 for both women and men. While some couples seem to become pregnant at the \u2018drop of a hat\u2019, for others the quest to bring new life into the world can be less than easy (to say the least!).<\/p>\n

Many factors can contribute to the\u00a0delicate issue of conception,<\/strong>\u00a0and while some couples prefer to leave creation up to fate, others may start on a long and arduous journey that will see them tackle a variety of factors and \u2018roadblocks\u2019 to conception while trying a multitude of\u00a0different fertility treatments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you and your partner are struggling to conceive, there are certain fertility and\u00a0pregnancy problems<\/a>\u00a0that you need to be aware of. Fertility is the term used to describe the natural ability of a man and woman to conceive and bring forth new life. In order to be able to conceive, the\u00a0reproductive system\u00a0<\/strong>of each party must function effectively.<\/p>\n

Fertility in Women<\/h3>\n

Fertility in women<\/strong>\u00a0refers to the ability to become pregnant and have a baby. A woman\u2019s monthly menstrual cycle reflects her ability to conceive. Menstrual cycles usually start during puberty, around the age of 13, and begin to taper off at about 45 years old. It is however, possible to still\u00a0become pregnant before your first period<\/strong>\u00a0right up until the end of menopause around the age of 50 years old.<\/p>\n

Women are born with about 400,000 immature eggs stored in the ovaries. When she reaches puberty and enters her\u00a0reproductive years,<\/strong>\u00a0her monthly menstrual cycle begins. The cycle begins on the first day of a woman’s period and typically lasts about 28 days. The first day begins not when she is spotting, but when she experiences regular flow. By this time, only about 300 of these eggs will mature and be released.<\/p>\n

During each cycle,\u00a0the ovary releases one egg<\/strong>\u00a0(or, less commonly, more than one), which may go on to be fertilized by a man’s sperm cell forming the embryo. The development and release of the egg each month depends on an intricate balance of hormones: chemicals that signal the body’s organs to do specific jobs. Some of these hormones are produced in the ovaries.<\/p>\n

Others come from two glands in the brain, the hypothalamus and the pituitary. The hormones she needs for menstruation and to become pregnant are produced by her hypothalamus, pituitary, and ovaries. Because\u00a0every step in the monthly cycle is controlled by hormones,<\/strong>\u00a0the correct amounts of these hormones have to be produced at the right times to make it possible for a woman to conceive.<\/p>\n

Fertility in Men<\/h3>\n

In men, fertility refers to the\u00a0ability to impregnate a woman.<\/strong>\u00a0An important part of male fertility involves the creation of normal, mature sperm.\u00a0Sperm are produced in the testes<\/strong>\u00a0and travel through the epididymis where they are stored and nourished. From there, they travel through the ejaculatory duct known as the vas deferens and further stored in the seminal vesicles.<\/p>\n

When sexual arousal and stimulation reaches a climax, it causes contractions in the muscles within the penis, urethra and\u00a0prostate gland<\/a>. This results in semen been propelled through the urethra and out of the tip of penis. If the\u00a0sperm are healthy and travel through a woman\u2019s cervix\u00a0<\/strong>and uterus into her fallopian tubes, one sperm may fertilize the egg. Men continue to produce sperm irrespective of their age.<\/p>\n
