Experiencing difficulties in conceiving after a previous successful pregnancy is not uncommon. Our expert team at Genea is here to support and guide you through various effective solutions for this challenge.

Introduction: The Challenge of Secondary Infertility

While having a child previously might suggest ease in conceiving again, secondary infertilitythe inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term after a previous successful pregnancyis surprisingly common. This unexpected challenge can be as emotionally taxing as primary infertility. At Genea, a premier Fertility Center Network of IVF Clinics across Australia and Thailand, we recognize the complexities of secondary infertility and are here to support you in expanding your family.

The Emotional Impact of Secondary Infertility

Couples facing secondary infertility often endure similar emotional stress to those experiencing infertility for the first time. Feelings of stress, frustration, and guilt about not providing a sibling for their existing child are common. Understanding that these emotions are normal is the first step towards managing them effectively.

Causes of Secondary Infertility: Age and Lifestyle Factors

Age and Its Effects on Fertility

One of the principal causes of secondary infertility is the advancing age of both partners. As women age, particularly beyond their mid-30s, their fertility naturally declines. This age-related decrease can significantly impact the ability to conceive again. Our fertility specialists at Genea can help you understand how age may be affecting your fertility and discuss the options available, such as egg freezing, IVF, or ICSI treatment.

Lifestyle Contributions to Secondary Infertility

The demands of parenting can also influence fertility. Factors like poor diet, lack of exercise, and sleep deprivation, exacerbated by the stress of parenting, can all contribute to difficulties conceiving. Maintaining regular intimacy, crucial for natural conception, becomes challenging. However, making healthy lifestyle choices can significantly enhance fertility. At Genea, we can guide you through making impactful changes that boost your fertility.
