Am I Really Infertile?

I remember the exact moment my world away from me. Trying to get pregnant for over four years and clings to the hope that "this would happen when the time was right" and "Just be patient." My partner and worked with a fertility specialist for a while and he had drawn a simple path for us to follow. If something does not work there was no choice but to try to "take time." and then he asked the question that has changed my whole perspective on my situation. "Do you have other medical problems ... besides infertility?"

What?

It was the first time anyone had actually referred to me as infertile and it was like a slap in the face. If I were sterile .... why are we still trying all these expensive treatments to conceive. Infertile? The word echoed in my head for what seemed an eternity until the specialist rephrase the question in a different way, thinking he had not understood (Yea..cause'm stupid and sterile).

This was also the point I stopped blindly following the advice of others, and began to do my own work and research. Ironically I was pregnant within 3 months of 'drop' the medical approach, but that's a story for another day. Today I want to talk about what it really means when your doctor asks infertile and why this does not mean you have to give up hope of having children.

Infertility, as defined by doctors and specialists means that you have been actively get pregnant for a year or more without success trying. Now this is obviously very different from my infertility examination. For me, if you are infertile, which means that you can not have children. Never. Not at all. It's late. But what the medical definition of infertility is described is a decreased ability to get pregnant. Reduced fertility would be a better term for it. So if you were told that you are sterile, do not take it means there is no way that you can have children. There is a good chance that you want.

Talking about statistics. And forgive me as I twist a bit to make my point. Between 65 and 90 percent of couples conceive in the first year of trying. 90 to 95% will conceive in their first two years of trying, and the remaining 5% will take more than two years. FIGURE interpretation of some - up to 35% of couples are not for the first year of trying. But 35% - 30% are designed for the end of its second year. This means that those who are considered "sterile" by the medical definition, up to 86% have been designed within a year. This does not seem very infertile me!

Now, obviously, had the largest number of "infertility" tweak these numbers a bit, but it made my point. The fact that the doctor refers to you as infertile does not mean you have to give up all hope of having children. You only have a reduced fertility rate, which means you have to work a little harder and be prepared to wait a little longer. It's a relatively small price to pay for the honor of the price of motherhood.
