There are numerous factors affecting pregnancy and these can be both environmental and physical. Here, we’ll discuss some of the possible factors in greater detail.
While it might seem straightforward, conception involves a surprisingly complicated series of steps. For conception to occur, not only is timing vital, but certain female and male processes need to fall into place for a healthy pregnancy.
Male infertility is fairly common and can affect almost 50% of couples who fail to conceive. There are many causes of male infertility which can lead to significant psychosocial and marital stress.
Examples of female causes that might effect pregnancy are Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).
For some, getting pregnant is not that simple and even after fertility evaluation a cause for infertility may still not be found. This is referred to as 'unexplained infertility'.
