Dear team of the online consultation,
My name is Fanni Seiler and I am 32 years old. My partner and I have been trying to get pregnant for some time now, unfortunately without success. I am starting to worry that something may be wrong and would like to increase my chances of a healthy pregnancy.
In the past, I have experienced two miscarriages, which has been emotionally challenging for me. I wonder if it could possibly be related to my health that we haven't been successful. I am already trying to eat healthy, exercise enough, and reduce stress, but maybe there are additional measures I could take.
I have also heard that it can be helpful to track my cycle and know exactly when my fertile days are. Are there specific tests I can have done to check my fertility? Should I also have my partner examined to rule out any potential issues?
I would like to know if there are further steps I can take to increase my chances of a healthy pregnancy. Are there possibly medical treatment options that could help me? I just want to do everything in my power to finally get pregnant and bring a healthy baby into the world.
Thank you in advance for your support and advice.
Sincerely,
Fanni Seiler
Dear Fanni Seiler,
I fully understand how burdensome it must be when you have been trying for a pregnancy for some time without success. First and foremost, I want to assure you that you are not alone in your worries and questions, and that there are many possibilities to increase your chances of a healthy pregnancy.
It is very important that you are already eating healthily, getting enough exercise, and reducing stress, as these are all factors that can have a positive impact on your fertility. Additionally, it may be helpful to track your cycle and identify your fertile days. There are various methods for this, such as basal temperature measurement or observing cervical mucus.
To further assess your fertility, you could undergo specific tests, such as hormone tests, ultrasound examination of the ovaries, or hysteroscopy. These tests can provide information on whether there may be any health issues that could hinder a pregnancy.
It is also advisable for your partner to undergo testing to rule out any potential issues on his end. A semen analysis can determine whether sperm quality and quantity are sufficient for successful fertilization.
If problems are identified during testing, there are various medical treatment options that can help you conceive. These include hormonal treatments, insemination, or in more severe cases, in vitro fertilization (IVF).
I recommend scheduling an appointment with a gynecologist to discuss your situation in detail and plan possible next steps. It is important that you feel well taken care of and can address all your questions and concerns.
I wish you all the best on your journey to pregnancy and am available to assist you with any further questions.
Best regards,
Marie Czakaj
