Identifying infertility

The initial step to identify infertility is to listen to your body, note the changes, and consult an infertility specialist as soon as possible.

Another very important thing which you need to know is the AMH level. AMH is anti-Mullerian hormone whose measurement shows the number of eggs maturing in the ovaries and on their way to ovulation, AMH is a strong indicator of a woman’s ovarian reserve, which is ovary’s ability to produce healthy eggs.

So we are highlighting some major signs that could point towards infertility. Keep scrolling!

· Irregularities in Period

Irregularities, in your period, to some extent, is acceptable. Every woman has a different cycle that varies from 28–35 days. But the actual problem is when you are not able to keep track of your periods.

Irregular periods are a sign that you are either not ovulating or suffering from some hormonal issues. If you are facing any such thing, the first thing to do is consult a doctor.

· Painful Periods

Some women experience cramps, heavy flow, and pain during the periods and it should be considered normal because different bodies have different reactions to this. Some of us start experiencing this all of a sudden. Well, this might not always mean that it is infertility, but it could be an indication. This condition is known as endometriosis.

· No Period

Missing a period in a month is definitely not normal. It could be the result of stress, heavy workouts, emotional disturbance, etc. But if it continues for months, then there might be a problem. Fertility needs ovulation, and it happens due to your periods. Therefore, the best option is to visit a female fertility clinic or consult a gynecologist.

· Hormonal Changes

Some of the other signs are when you experience hormonal fluctuations that result in mood swings, sudden acne issues, pelvic pressure, etc. If all of these signs go beyond the expected time, then it’s time to get your check-up done.

If you feel your feet and hands are always cold, then this could be a sign of hypothyroidism that eventually leads to irregular ovulation resulting in infertility. Some of the other signs involve dry skin and tiredness.

· Aging

Here is an additional factor which we can’t ignore about infertility and that is aging. Though the effects of woman’s age on fertility is known for quite some time, studies have proved that even a man’s age affects the chances of pregnancy and pregnancy health. Men trying to conceive over the age of 40 tend to have poor semen quality.

So, above-mentioned are some factors that indicate fertility or its beginning. Remember one thing it is always better to take good care of yourself to conceive naturally and have a healthy pregnancy.
