If you have not been able to get pregnant, it means that there are certain problems with the bodies of both parties. Both parties need to be checked. If one party is found to have a problem, timely treatment should be received. Early treatment can lead to early pregnancy. You should also pay attention to your daily routine, try not to go to bed late, and eat a healthier diet. It is not difficult to get pregnant with targeted conditioning.

What to do if you are infertile after six months of intercourse?

First of all, when there is no sign of pregnancy after having sex during the ovulation period, you need to consider whether one or both of the couple has a physical problem that leads to infertility. In this case, you need to go to the relevant hospital for examination in time, find out the cause of infertility, and receive treatment in time.

1. If a woman cannot get pregnant due to blocked fallopian tubes, she can go to the hospital for treatment in time and the doctor will help to clear the fallopian tubes. Alternatively, she can choose food therapy and eat angelica, safflower, etc. to clear the tubes and promote ovulation.

2. For women who cannot get pregnant due to excessive psychological pressure, the first thing they can do is to choose psychotherapy, self-adjustment or counseling from a psychologist.

3. If you have frequent miscarriages in the past and are unable to get pregnant, you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time.

Reasons for infertility after six months of intercourse:

1. Fallopian tube factors

Fallopian tube obstruction has always been the main cause of female infertility. When the fallopian tubes become inflamed, mucosal secretions decrease, the tubal lumen becomes adhered, and the peristalsis of the entire fallopian tube weakens, which can not only lead to infertility but also induce ectopic pregnancy. When suffering from pelvic endometriosis, the fallopian tubes may also become adhered and twisted, leading to infertility.

2. Vulva and vagina factors

For example, malformations such as imperforate hymen, transverse vaginal septum, and congenital absence of vagina can hinder sexual life; or when suffering from severe vaginitis, a large number of pathogenic microorganisms and white blood cells phagocytize sperm and cause infertility.

3. Ovarian factors

Congenital absence of ovaries, immature ovaries, polycystic ovaries, premature ovarian failure, oophoritis, etc. can all affect ovarian ovulation and cause infertility.

4. Uterine factors

The normal position of the uterus is forward tilted and flexed, with the cervical opening facing backwards. After sexual intercourse and ejaculation, the cervical opening is immersed in a pool of semen, which is conducive to conception. If the uterus is in a retroverted and flexed position, causing the cervical opening to move forward and upward, it may affect the entry of sperm into the uterine cavity and cause infertility. When suffering from endometritis, it may hinder the implantation of fertilized eggs.

5. Cervical factors

During ovulation, the cervical opening expands from 1 mm in diameter after menstruation to 3 mm. The cervical mucus is clear and transparent with a pH value of 7.0-8.2, which neutralizes the acidity of the vagina and facilitates the passage of sperm. If you suffer from chronic cervicitis or low estrogen levels, the cervical mucus may contain a large number of white blood cells or become thick and affect conception. Cervical polyps can block the passage of sperm.

6. Immune factors

In a small number of couples, no obvious cause of infertility was found after examination, but the infertility was caused by antisperm antibodies in the serum of the infertile woman.

Your mindset is also very important: when having sex during ovulation, don’t be too nervous, just relax and let nature take its course. For example, mental stress or excessive anxiety can affect the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, inhibit ovulation and cause infertility.
