WAITING FOR THE PREGNANCY

Couples who want a child are in a hurry. They have decided to start a family and hope that pregnancy will happen as soon as they stop using contraception. Every couple expects pregnancy to be as easy and fast for them as for others. There is no need to worry if the hoped-for pregnancy takes some time. This „most natural thing in the world“ is a complex physical process. Many conditions must be met for pregnancy to occur. As a rule, 60% of couples expect to have a child after six months. After twelve months, 80% of women are pregnant. But not in every case, do the plans go that way.

7 to 9% of all couples wishing to have children in Austria are affected by unwanted childlessness.

AS OF WHAT POINT DOES A COUPLE TURN INTO A COUPLE WITH UNFULFILLED DESIRE FOR CHILDREN?

The WHO has defined that after one year of regular intercourse without contraception a natural pregnancy should have occurred. From then on the natural waiting time is exceeded. If there is no pregnancy despite a prolonged period of unprotected intercourse, it is advisable to clarify the causes. If you are older than 38 years of age, you should seek medical help after just six months and get to the root of the problem.

HOW ARE THE CAUSES CLARIFIED?

The clarification is gradual. For couples who turn to us, we first invite them as a first step to an initial consultation. Here we talk about:

  • Previous diseases and therapies
  • Current physical complaints
  • Sexual behavior
  • General mood in the relationship
  • Importance of a pregnancy for the partnership
  • Questions about the urgency of having children

Then, depending on your individual situation, we will carry out various examinations, i.e. an oviduct ultrasound (HYCOSY).

If after one year of regular intercourse without contraception pregnancy does not occur, you should seek medical advice. From then on the natural waiting time is exceeded.

If you are older than 38 years of age, you should seek medical help after just six months and get to the root of the problem.

The clarification is gradual. The first step is always a detailed initial conversation. Among other things, we talk about previous illnesses and therapies, current physical complaints and your sexual behavior.

Many causes lead to infertility or fertility problems. In women, it is often hormonal problems that cause ovarian dysfunction or egg cell maturation. The most common causes of fertility disorders or infertility in women are occluded fallopian tubes, endometriosis and the PCO syndrome. But anatomical reasons or hormonal changes and metabolic problems can cause difficulties.

The most common fertility disorders in men are disorders of sperm cell formation, sperm transport, inadequate bladder obstruction, antibody production, and hormonal and genetic disorders. In addition, general disorders of the kidneys, liver or heart as well as metabolic disorders impair fertility. Also infections (eg mumps) can sustainably reduce the seed production.

A good fertility clinic is characterized by:

  • A highly motivated and experienced team that you can count on.
  • A respectful, personal and familial treatment.
  • Experts in the fertility treatment, who will respond to your specific situation and work out the optimal solution for you.
  • Latest medical knowledge combined with the latest technology and experience from daily practice.
  • Profound, complementary support through measures such as TCM, acupuncture or nutritional counseling.
  • Psychological accompaniment on your way to the desired child.
  • Transparent calculation of costs.

And of course she should have a high pregnancy rate and enjoy your confidence.
