Your fertility will decline with age and often, other factors might also affect it. Therefore, by the time you are ready to conceive again, your fertility might have undergone some changes.
The medical term for ladies who struggle to become pregnant after having a child is ‘secondary infertility’. These are some common causes of secondary infertility:
- Age
- Complications from the previous pregnancy
- Weight gain
- Your partner (and his age)
For ladies who are younger than 35 years old, I would recommend trying to conceive for one year before seeing a specialist, and for ladies who are 35 years and older, to try for six months before seeking help.
