There Can Be Many Causes of Infertility
A further 1/3 of cases of infertility are caused by the man being unable to conceive, and 1/3 are caused by a mixture of problems between both partners, or the cause being unknown. Lifestyle factors can affect the fertility of both men and women, such as stress, poor diet and drug use. Age is also a relatively common cause of fertility issues, with more couples waiting until they are in their 30s or 40s to try to conceive.

Back and Forth
Lauren has described her experience of being overwhelmed by medical advice from doctors, despite them not knowing the root cause of her fertility issues. She was offered medical intervention from one doctor, and rejected that, wanting instead to know why she was struggling to fall pregnant. Frustrated, she saw another doctor, who offered her the same resolution in the form of treatment without any real answers. Lauren and her husband, David, decided to give the fertility consulting a break until they returned home from a planned mission trip to Nicaragua.
