What this should tell you is that a variety of factors contribute to producing a baby and with so many variables across genders and roles it is a great topic to keep in discussion. In 30 per cent of infertile couples, the man has fertility issues, in another 30 per cent it’s the woman, and in the remaining couples it can’t be identified (and 40 per cent can’t be the milk-delivery person, ha!). About one in six Australian couples of reproductive age experiences fertility problems. The statistics on fertility problems in Australia show this isn’t something random or rare. Infertility is a sensitive topic for many people. Stressing about a problem is often far more debilitating than the actual problem, if there is a problem at all. In fact, when I’m chatting to patients who are stressing about falling pregnant in the future, I often just say, well let’s do some research and maybe harvest some eggs or at least chat to an IVF specialist. They can help you make a plan, and can offer advice that is 100 per cent more credible than Google search results. If you are really anxious, I recommend you speak to your doctor about having fertility tests.
What is true? Am I being a hypochondriac or are these the key causes to my sister not falling pregnant? I don’t want that to happen to us so how can we both increase our fertility? – Jade, 31, AdelaideĪNSWER: Infertility is a sensitive topic for many people, and it can flare up issues in relationships between couples trying to start a family. I don’t know who to believe anymore and I’m scared to Google it as then it keeps sending me more articles that don’t seem positive at all. I’ve heard loads of stories about sperm count being reduced, the ‘little swimmers’ being uncoordinated and my GF was just telling me that her sister was told that her ‘eggs were practically scrambled’ from working in a lab with machines everywhere. I’m anxious as my partner is always watching Netflix in bed or working with his laptop on his legs or abdomen and just the heat of it can’t be great, right? I’m almost to the point of telling my husband to not carry his phone in his pocket and ban any other ‘charged’ or electrical device from having body contact. I’m a little nervous, however, as I have just seen my sister and her partner’s struggles with infertility issues.
