Have you been trying to start a family and have been unsuccessful? You are not alone. Around 10-15% of couples in India like you also find it difficult to conceive naturally and seek medical help. North India’s best IVF clinic – Gunjan IVF World talks about the possible reasons that could stand in the way of your parenthood dreams through this informative article.

“If you have been trying to have a baby for over a year and have been unsuccessful at it, you should seek medical advice. About 1 in 8 couples need extra help in getting pregnant. Infertility could be the main cause of the inability to conceive naturally. “It is a medical condition that affects both men and women and the best part is that it is treatable,” says Dr. Gunjan Gupta, Director & Founder, Gunjan IVF World – the best IVF centre in Ghaziabad and a leading IVF specialist Ghaziabad.

Here are some of the possible 7 reasons why you might be facing difficulty in getting pregnant

1. Ovulation problems: “Some women might face difficulty ovulating regularly i.e. they may not be producing eggs. There could be various reasons behind ovulation problems like Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), hormonal imbalances, excessive stress, obesity or being underweight,” comments Dr. Garima Sharma, Consultant & Centre In-Charge and IVF specialist at Gunjan IVF World – a leading IVF centre in Janakpuri with three other modern centres in Indirapuram, Meerut and Noida (commencing soon).
2. Structural abnormalities: Another possible reason behind one’s inability to become pregnant naturally could be structural problems in the woman’s body. These abnormalities could include the following:
   – Blocked fallopian tubes
   – Ovarian cysts
   – Uterine fibroids
   – Endometriosis“
   Most of these structural abnormalities can be treated through surgery,” added Dr. Anshu Dhar, Consultant at Gunjan IVF World, the best known IVF clinic in Indirapuram.
3. Hormonal imbalances: “The human body is responsible for producing an array of hormones that not only help in the functioning of the body but also in conceiving. Any imbalance in the levels of the reproductive hormones can make your dream of parenthood distant. Regular hormonal tests are extremely vital if you are planning to start a family,” says Dr. Aastha Raheja, Consultant and IVF specialist at the best IVF center in Ghaziabad – Gunjan IVF World. The key reproductive hormones include:
   – Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
   – Lutenising Hormone (LH)
   – Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH)
   – Progesterone
   – Testosterone
   – Estrogen
   – Prolactin
   – Thyroid 3 & 4
4. Poor or low ovarian reserve: Women are born with a certain number of eggs. With growing age, this reserve also diminishes. In some cases, younger women suffer from a condition by the name of Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) in which they produce far less eggs compared to other women of their age.
5. Body weight: Being overweight or underweight can also come in the way of your dream of starting a family. Excessive body weight can lead to hormonal imbalances, several medical conditions like diabetes, etc. that impact fertility. “Simple modifications like eating healthy, practicing mild exercises and staying fit can increase your chances of conception,” says Dr. Gunjan Gupta, who leads a team of highly experienced IVF specialists at the best IVF center in Delhi – of course, Gunjan IVF World. “It is important for you all to know that excessive workouts can also impact your period and lead to ovulation problems. So, doing everything in moderation is key,” she added.
6. Sperm abnormalities: Yes, a man can be equally responsible for a couple’s inability to get pregnant. Studies show that in about 40% of cases, the pregnancy could not happen because of abnormalities in the male partner’s sperm or reproductive tract. Sperm quantity, quality and morphology are important factors behind the success of a conception. A semen analysis can always help evaluate it.
7. Lifestyle factors: When planning to start a family, make sure you keep a check on your lifestyle. Sedentary lifestyle, excessive smoking or drinking, substance abuse, supplements, etc. should be a strict no as they add to your difficulty in conception.
