Having Babies

Not everyone is has the ability to give birth to baby. People who cannot have babies are called infertile.

It is usual for a woman to consult the doctor first when pregnancy fails to occur after the couple had tried for a period of time. This is because the woman is the one going to carry the growing baby in her uterus for the nine months of pregnancy.

During the first visit to the doctor, information and fact finding is always the norm. Doctors will find out about the woman's past operations, illnesses, her present health, her menstrual history, duration of her menstruation, and so on. The doctor also will ask about the couple's sexual habits. It was found out in several surveys of infertile couples that one percent sexual intercourse had not taken place properly, and the woman was still a virgin! It was no wonder that no pregnancy resulted!

There are other various reasons for couples to be infertile, besides the earlier mentioned of 'incorrect' sexual intercourse. Timing plays an important part. For successful fertilization, the healthy and active sperm needs to meet the egg during ovulation. However, some males fail to manufacture enough sperm, or they may have weak sperm, or they fail to even ejaculate at all.

The male may be the cause of infertility in some married couples. In others, the woman is the cause of infertility. Some woman fails to produce an egg at all, while some others have irregular production of eggs. Without the egg, pregnancy cannot occur at all. Still in some woman, despite having normal eggs production, their oviduct may be block.

To correct the problems of infertility in couples, doctors carried out the complicated technique of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Other methods of solving infertility issues includes AID (artificial insemination of a donor's semen) if the man is found to be sterile.
