Why Many Couples Struggle to Conceive — Even After Trying for Months or Years

5 Key Factors You Should Know

Getting pregnant is not just about “luck.”

It requires several systems in the body to work together perfectly.

Here are 5 common reasons why many couples try for so long… but still don’t conceive.

1) Egg Quality Declines With Age

Women are born with a fixed number of eggs.

After age 30–35, both egg count and egg quality begin to drop.

This can lead to:

* Irregular ovulation

* Poor-quality eggs

* Higher chance of miscarriage

➡ IVF/ICSI helps select healthier eggs and embryos compared to natural conception.

2) Sperm Issues Are More Common Than You Think

About 40% of infertility cases are related to male factors.

Common issues include:

* Low sperm count

* Poor movement

* Abnormal shape

AI-powered sperm analysis helps evaluate sperm more accurately,

while ICSI enables fertilization even when sperm quality is low.

3) Uterine or Tubal Problems

Blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, fibroids, or adhesions

can prevent sperm from reaching the egg — or prevent the embryo from implanting.

➡ High-resolution ultrasound and fertility screening can detect these early.

4) Hormonal Imbalance

Conditions like thyroid disorders, PCOS, or irregular ovulation

can make it harder to conceive.

➡ A simple blood test can reveal hormonal issues and guide the right treatment plan.

5) Chromosomal Abnormalities in Embryos

Even if fertilization occurs, embryos with chromosomal errors

often fail to implant or stop developing early.

➡ PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) helps select chromosomally normal embryos,

reducing miscarriage risk and improving IVF success rates.

If you’ve been trying for 6–12 months without success,

it doesn’t mean something is “wrong with you” —

but it is a sign that a fertility assessment can help.

The earlier you know the cause,

the easier it is to choose the right treatment.
