Reasons for Not Being Able to Stay Pregnant

Infertility Reasons

When a woman cannot get pregnant or can get pregnant but cannot keep the baby to term, the reasons for this can very a lot. The author of this report found a website that describes the reasons and the details behind them. This report will briefly describe the process that must generally happen and what can get in the way along the way. Quite often, it is a problem of ovulation and the egg of the woman getting to where it needs to go. However, there are other reasons why infertility may exist. While it may be fairly easy to generalize, there is more than one possible explanation in all cases until something is proven or at least presumed.

Infertility Explanation for Women

The woman must release an egg from one of her ovaries

The egg must go through the fallopian tube to the uterus

A man's sperm must fertilize the egg along the way

The fertilized egg must attached to the inside of the uterus (Women's Health, 2015).

If a woman cannot get pregnant, it might be because of the man's body or his bodily functions or it might be because of the woman's. It is not possible to know by assuming or guessing. About ten percent of the women in the United States (about six million people) are unable to get pregnant or stay pregnant once they are already pregnant. These women range in age from fifteen to forty-four years old (Women's Health, 2015).
