yes!! it is sad but what we can do as A common misperception is that infertility is becoming more common. In fact, the infertility rate has held relatively stable over the years. Instead, two major factors account for the increased utilization of fertility services.
The first of these factors is simply the greater availability of the services themselves. Prior to the 1978 birth of Louise Brown, the world’s first baby conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF), the options available to treat an infertile couple were limited to tubal microsurgery and ovulation induction with medications such as clomiphene citrate (Clomid). With the development of advanced reproductive technologies (ART), the techniques used to treat infertile couples have become both much more successful and more accessible. Fertility providers now practice throughout nearly all urban centers in the continental United States, with more than 400 IVF clinics reporting their success rates through the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technologies (SART) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The second factor accounting for the increased use of fertility services is the trend toward delayed childbearing. Over the last generation, a significant number of women have deferred childbearing while they pursued advanced academic careers or entered the workplace. Unfortunately, female reproductive capacity drops from a peak in the second and third decades of life so that, by the age of 40 years, there is a marked reduction in fertility and an increased risk of miscarriage.
Finally, the stigma associated with fertility treatments themselves has also eased in recent years, prompting more couples to seek out such help. Previously, couples who were seeking fertility treatments often found themselves beset by a bewildering array of options and knew few other couples with whom they could discuss the range of treatments. Today, more than 100,000 cycles of ART are performed in the United States every year.
hmm
Hello, yes it's very common. One in seven couples in the U.K. are infertile, but because we don't talk about it, it feels much rarer. I'm all about open sharing, others need to know this affects so many people, through no fault of their own x
Dear Sam! You seem worried and curious. Well no, fertility issues are now reducing because of many advancements and procedures. We are living in the era where anything is possible. Many other techniques and pills are now introduced to get rid of fertility before time.
Hi Sam. I have no statistics to support my claims, however, I do believe it is true. Infertility is on the rise. A decade or so ago, infertility wasn't this common. It might be our diet. Maybe even our poor lifestyle choices. Even more common than infertility is the occurrence of miscarriages. That too needs to be looked into.
