Trying to conceive can be one of the most emotional journeys for a couple. While many couples achieve pregnancy naturally within a few months, others may face unexpected delays that can lead to stress, confusion, and frustration. If you have been trying to get pregnant for a long time without success, it is important to understand that infertility is a medical condition and in many cases, it is treatable.
At Amayra Healthcare, Chandigarh, Dr. Ajay Aggarwal helps couples identify the real cause of infertility and guides them toward the most suitable treatment options with compassion and advanced fertility care.
Infertility refers to the inability to conceive naturally even after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse. For women above 35 years of age, evaluation is usually recommended after 6 months of trying.
Infertility can affect both men and women. In many couples, more than one factor may be involved.
You should not ignore the following signs:
Trying to conceive for more than 1 year without success
Irregular or absent periods
Severe menstrual pain
Recurrent miscarriages
History of PCOS or endometriosis
Low sperm count or male fertility issues
Previous pelvic infections or surgeries
Age above 35 years and difficulty conceiving
Early diagnosis can significantly improve pregnancy chances.
PCOS is one of the most common reasons for infertility in women. It affects ovulation and hormonal balance. Women with PCOS may experience:
Irregular periods
Weight gain
Acne or excessive facial hair
Difficulty releasing eggs regularly
With proper lifestyle management, medications, and fertility treatment, many women with PCOS can conceive successfully.
Pregnancy cannot occur if the ovaries do not release eggs regularly. Hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, stress, obesity, or low body weight can interfere with ovulation.
Ovulation tracking and fertility evaluation help identify the exact problem.
Fallopian tubes carry the egg from the ovary to the uterus. If the tubes are blocked due to infection, tuberculosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or previous surgery, fertilization becomes difficult.
Advanced diagnostic tests such as HSG and laparoscopy help detect tubal blockage.
Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. It can cause:
Severe pelvic pain
Painful periods
Pain during intercourse
Difficulty conceiving
Mild to severe endometriosis may reduce fertility and sometimes requires laparoscopic treatment.
Fibroids, uterine polyps, adhesions, or congenital abnormalities in the uterus may affect embryo implantation and pregnancy.
Timely diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment can improve fertility outcomes.
Female fertility naturally decreases with age, especially after 35 years. Egg quality and ovarian reserve gradually decline, reducing the chances of natural conception.
Women planning delayed pregnancy should consider early fertility assessment.
Male infertility contributes to nearly 40–50% of infertility cases. Common causes include:
Low sperm count
Poor sperm motility
Abnormal sperm shape
Hormonal imbalance
Varicocele
Smoking and alcohol consumption
Stress and unhealthy lifestyle
Diabetes or chronic medical conditions
A simple semen analysis can provide valuable information about male fertility health.
Modern lifestyle habits also play a major role in infertility. These include:
Smoking
Alcohol intake
Obesity
Lack of sleep
Poor diet
Excessive stress
Sedentary lifestyle
Exposure to environmental toxins
Making healthy lifestyle changes can improve natural fertility in many couples.
Many couples wait too long before consulting a fertility expert. Delayed treatment can reduce success rates, especially in women above 35 years.
You should seek medical advice if:
You are under 35 and trying for more than 1 year
You are above 35 and trying for more than 6 months
You have irregular periods or severe pelvic pain
You have a history of miscarriages
Male fertility issues are suspected
Early evaluation helps identify treatable causes before they become more complicated.

Fertility counseling

IVF treatment
