About 10 percent of reproductive-age couples in the Nigeria will have difficulty
getting pregnant. About 30 percent of cases
are due to fertility problems in the woman, 30
percent to fertility problems in the man, and the rest to unexplained causes or multiple
factors involving both partners.
If you've had regular, unprotected sex for more than a year without conceiving, see your doctor .
The National Infertility Association says at
least half of those who have an infertility
evaluation and treatment will be able to have
a successful pregnancy. Endometriosis is a condition that occurs
when tissue found in the uterine lining (called
endometrial tissue) grows outside your
uterus, usually in the abdominal-pelvic
cavity.
Possible symptoms: Some women have no
symptoms, while others have painful
menstrual periods or intercourse, heavy
bleeding or unusual spotting, and general
pelvic pain.
Possible solutions: Surgery to remove
endometrial tissue, fertility drugs with
artificial insemination , fertility drugs with
artificial insemination , surgery to remove
abnormal tissue or unblock tubes, assisted
reproductive technologies (ART) , or adoption
Success rates: Up to 40 percent of women
conceive (either naturally or with treatment)
after having surgery. When fertility drugs to
increase egg production are combined with
artificial insemination, the success rate is
between 9 and 15 percent per cycle. The success rate per cycle with a form of ART called in vitro fertilization (IVF) averages around 35 percent.
Ovulation problems
An ovulation problem is any condition
(usually hormonal) that prevents a mature egg from developing in your ovaries. Possible symptoms: Absent or infrequent periods and abnormally light or heavy bleeding. Possible solutions: Fertility drugs and IVF, or adoption. Success rates: About 40 percent of women receiving clomiphene citrate to induce ovulation become pregnant over the course of
treatment (usually three to six cycles).
Poor egg quality
The quality and number of eggs your ovaries
produce – naturally or with fertility treatment
– often declines significantly with age.
Possible symptoms: None.
Possible solutions: IVF using donor eggs or
embryos , or adoption
Success rates: Women who have IVF using
donor eggs have an approximate 50 percent
chance of having a baby per IVF cycle.
