Secondary Infertility: Having Trouble Getting Pregnant Again?

secondary infertility​

If you have ever conceived even once in your life, regardless of its outcome, and are having difficulty in getting pregnant again, you are suffering from Secondary Infertility. One of the major causes of secondary infertility is advancing age of parents. However, after an accurate secondary infertility diagnosis is made many treatment options are available for achieving conception again.

The Difference between Primary and Secondary Infertility

Primary infertility refers to a couple who have NEVER achieved pregnancy, and secondary infertility couples have achieved conception at least once regardless of the outcome of that birth. The causes of these two types of infertility may vary but treatment is quite similar.

Advances in research and technology have introduced some major procedures for infertility treatment. These procedures are known as Assisted Reproductive techniques (ARTs); these include ICSI, IUI and IVF.

Symptoms of Infertility

Secondary infertility symptoms in males are not usually present. However, some males suffering from infertility experience:

  • Difficulty in getting partner pregnant
  • Erectile Dysfunction
  • Low sex drive
  • Pain or swelling of testicular area
  • Reduced facial hair or breast enlargement may suggest hormonal imbalances

Most Common Female infertility symptoms are as follows:

  • Facial hair or uncontrolled weight gain may suggest PCOS or hormonal imbalance
  • Pain during intercourse
