my cousin has been married 5 years and still no baby, everyone keeps taunting her which makes me so sad for her. it made me wonder what are the actual reasons behind it. just trying to understand.
For me it was PCOS affecting my ovulation, which made it take longer. Once we understood the cause, treatment helped. So if its taking time, a check up can reveal whats going on, no shame in it.
Don't lose heart over this. Bodies are complex and many reasons are fixable with the right help. Just see a good gynac together, take it one step at a time.
My doctor explained that fertility involves both partners, so testing both is important. Causes range from blocked tubes, thyroid, low sperm count to age. The good part is many causes are treatable once identified.
There can be so many reasons, hormonal, ovulation issues, sometimes the partner's side, and sometimes no clear reason at all. I struggled for years before IVF worked. Please dont blame yourself, getting tested early just helps find answers gently.
