subject: Getting A Family Is All Some People Think About [print this page] Those women who are unable to conceive are surely going through a lot of suffering and may even be blamed by family members for not being able to produce the next generation. This can become so outlandish that sometimes a divorce or worse results from this inability to conceive. Therefore, doctors have devised ways of trying to solve this problem by offering some kinds of treatment to correct the situation. To find out what kind of treatments are available, look for 'IVF' or 'infertility' online.
Although conceiving a child and bringing it into the world seems to be one of the easiest things to do, actually achieving this is difficult for some women. Indeed, when there are difficulties, it is assumed that it is the woman who is at fault but this is not always the case. The partner too has to be looked at and investigated and this is far less intrusive than the tests that the woman may have to undergo.
For the man it may only be a case of providing a sperm sample for the experts to take a close look at. Sperm can be immobile or have deformed tales which make them swim in circles. Or he may just not have enough sperm to be viable. Considering the journey that sperm have to take to fertilize the egg, the more there is the better chance they have, in medical terms.
With the woman, life becomes a little more difficult for sure. She may have blocked fallopian tubes which prevent the egg from descending, or she may not have any viable eggs at all. Even fibroids in the womb itself can interfere with the whole process and this may take some surgical intervention to sort the matter out.
For those who have the eggs and sperm, but who just cannot get the two to interact with each other, doctors have perfected a way to allow them to merge under clinical conditions. The sperm is sometimes injected directly into the egg and the process of multiplying cells is done in an incubator. Once this 'splitting' of the cells comes to a certain level, the embryo is placed back into the womb of the woman where normal pregnancy will result if it attaches to the womb.
To get the eggs in the first place the woman may have to undergo some difficult times since she will be injected with hormones to stimulate the egg production. This can be a painful process and she may suffer from mood swings brought on by the excess hormones in her body, but if she gets the right results then she is obviously willing to put up with the discomfort.
One aspect about this whole process though is that she may have a multiple pregnancy since they tend to put in more than one embryo. Although this may result in twins or triplets, those without kids are more than willing to take this risk and get one large family all in one go since the following attempts may not work.
