I've already had a baby, but now I'm trying to get pregnant again. Can I have my partner in the midst of a problem?

In general, experts agree that the fact that a couple has already had a child can be considered evidence that there is no infertility problem in the first place. It is like a small test that has been done and proves that they "succeeded" at least once. On the other hand, we need to know that in the meantime things may have changed and a problem may have arisen (eg the man may have had some inflammation that affects the quality of his sperm or has mediated something that affects female fertility: an inflammation, a gynecological surgery, an abortion, etc.). In any case, if a reasonable period of time (one year) passes and a couple can not achieve a pregnancy, then he should with the help of his doctor investigate if there has been a problem that causes infertility.

I HAVE A LOW STOCK OF HOURS. WHAT SHOULD I DO;

A diagnosis of low egg supply can be worrying for many women who wish to have a child. However, it is important to know that there are many options and strategies that can help you achieve your goal. In this article, we'll look at what low egg supply means, what treatments are available, and what steps you can take to increase your chances of success.

What Is Low Grain Stock?

Egg reserve refers to the number and quality of eggs present in a woman's ovaries. Low egg reserve means that the number of eggs available is less than expected for the woman's age. This can be due to a number of factors, including age, genetic predisposition, previous fertility treatments, or medical conditions such as endometriosis.

Blood tests

– AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone): A blood test that measures the levels of AMH, which is produced by the follicles in the ovaries. Low AMH levels are associated with a low egg reserve.

– FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): FSH measurement on the third day of the cycle can provide information on ovarian function. High FSH levels indicate a low egg reserve.

Ultrasound

An ultrasound that measures the number of follicles in the ovaries at the beginning of the cycle. A low follicle count is associated with a low egg supply.

What can you do;

Consult a Reproductive Medicine Specialist

The first and most important move is to consult a Reproductive Medicine Specialist. Your doctor will evaluate the test results and discuss the available options with you.

Fertility Treatments

– In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): One of the most common treatments for women with a low egg supply. Stimulating the ovaries with hormones can increase the number of eggs produced during the cycle.

– Micro Insemination (ICSI): A technique often used in conjunction with IVF, where the sperm is inserted directly into the egg.

Consider Freezing Eggs

If you are not ready to have a child right away, egg freezing may be an option to preserve your fertility.

Consider Donating Oats

Egg donation is another option for women with a very low egg supply. It can increase the chances of success, although it requires medical and ethical counseling.

Healthy lifestyle

– Diet: A healthy diet can help improve ovarian function.

– Exercise: Regular exercise helps maintain overall health and well-being.

– Avoid toxins: Avoid smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and other toxins that can negatively affect fertility.

Food supplements

Certain dietary supplements may improve egg quality. Consult your doctor about which ones are right for you.

Conclusion

A diagnosis of low egg supply does not mean the end of hope for having a child. With the right medical advice and the right treatments, many women have succeeded in becoming mothers.
