The Top Fertility Factors a Couple Should Consider - Part 2


Listen Later

Our human reproductive system is delicate, so if you're planning to have a baby, you'll want to know the things to look out for to give yourself the best chance of a successful pregnancy. In this episode, we'll be discussing the various tubal factors and uterine factors that could impact your pregnancy and lead to loss.

Poor egg quality is a crucial factor too, as is sperm quality. These can lead to embryos with genetic problems, and therefore a non-viable pregnancy. Healthy sperm should be able to travel into the fallopian tube to meet the egg there. The fallopian tube needs to be able to grab the egg for this meeting to take place.

The uterus has to be ready to not just receive the fertilized egg, but also be ready for implantation so the fetus can begin to grow. It's important to have a "baby friendly" uterus–this is when the thickness of the uterine lining really matters. Uterine deformities can occur in women and impact her ability to grow a healthy child.

Uterine polyps, uterine fibroids, and scar tissues are the main uterine factors that negatively influence fertility. Fibroids specifically can disrupt or deform the uterine cavity, and they may even interfere with the fallopian tubes. These can also cause bloating, distention, and pain. Many women with fibroids get pregnant easily, but a small percentage will have resulting difficulties.

Implantation requires a very specific molecular attachment process, and many chemical pregnancy losses are due to an issue with this process. This is just one of many things that has to go right for a healthy pregnancy, which truly serves as a reminder of what a miracle it is for women to be able to get pregnant and have a baby in the first place.
