hi im 25 and have a 4 year old daughter.i fell pregnant within weeks of trying. but now my partner and i have been trying for nearly a year and still havnt fell pregnant. i have read about secondary infertility and im getting very worried that this is affecting us. i know i shouldnt let it take over but its all im thinking about now. im very lucky as my partner and i have a very strong relationship but each month i just feel like a failular. i had a very bad birth with my daughter so im also worried that something may have got damaged. my partner and i dont smoke and we have cut down our drinking.
Hi, Relax. You are just 25 and have a previous pregnancy, so there is a very good chance that you will conceive again. Good that you do not smoke or Chat Doctor. You can start with basic things like sperm count, Serum FSH, LH prolactin levels and a pelvic ultrasound. Also start taking folic acid tablets. A previous bad birth can have a negative impact, but you need to realized that second birth is much easier than the first and counselling with midwife/doctor with whom you will be can help a lot in overcoming the fear. Hope this helps. Regards
