Here are some reasons that can hinder the conception of a child, to watch closely upstream if you want to get pregnant!
The age of future parents:
Nature is sometimes terrible but the biological clock does exist. After a certain age, the conception of a child is clearly thwarted. The numbers speak for themselves, especially for women, unfortunately: the peak of fertility is around 25 years old. Then, her chances of getting pregnant decline gradually: a woman has a 75% chance of getting pregnant in 12 months to 30 years, 66% to 35 years and 44% to 40 years. After 40 years, the problem comes from the quantity of eggs produced by the body as well as their quality which decline, which decreases the chances of conception.
The weight:
If you want to get pregnant, your condition and therefore your weight can have an influence. Thus, in women, anorexia is a common cause of absence of ovulation (anovulation), and therefore makes impossible pregnancy. Conversely, obesity is responsible for the appearance of irregularities in the menstrual cycle, which can also hinder the design. But these gentlemen are also concerned: the overweight has indeed repercussions on spermatozoa.
The tobacco:
We know that tobacco is bad for your health. But it is also a factor that can thwart fertility! Several studies have shown that in women, tobacco prolongs the conception period and decreases the ovarian reserve. According to women and the number of cigarettes smoked, tobacco is responsible for a decrease in fertility of the order of 10 to 20%. Tobacco also has a significant impact on male fertility. Cigarettes would reduce the quantity and quality of sperm. They would also cause some erectile dysfunction and increase the number of white blood cells in the sperm, one of the factors of subfertility.
But when you stop smoking, everything can return to normal very quickly. This is why it is necessary to stop smoking as soon as the baby tests and not just during pregnancy.
The alcohol:
Not surprisingly, alcohol is also one of the factors that can affect fertility. In particular, a 2014 Danish study established a direct link between alcohol consumption and the drop in sperm quantity and quality, from as little as 5 glasses of alcohol per week (less than one per day). Alcohol is no better for female fertility: a decade-long study by researchers in Sweden found that women with the highest alcohol consumption more frequently consulted infertility specialists.
Cannabis:
According to several studies, THC, a molecule of marijuana, has a direct impact on the fertilization capacity of the egg by the spermatozoa, since the latter would have abnormal behaviors (too fast movements) during fertilization. In humans, the quantity and quality of sperm would also be altered.
The stress:
Despite the progress of research, it should be noted that 25% of cases of male infertility remain of unknown origin. The causes are obviously multiple and often related to one previously stated factors, but recent studies have also brought out the important role of stress on infertility. To increase your chances of getting pregnant, encourage a healthy lifestyle and zen attitude!
The use of the mobile phone:
Few people do not use a mobile phone. But those who opt for the phone in the pocket take a bad habit that can affect their ability to have a child. Even if researchers continue to find an explanation for this phenomenon, a Hungarian study conducted on more than 200 men for one year has clearly established a link between keeping his phone near his testicles and the decline in sperm production.
