Reproductive Health, Assists Couples in Building Their Families
Having conceived one child, it is natural for couples to take it for granted that another conception will easily follow. But this is not the case for more than 3-million Americans. Secondary Infertility, though more prevalent than primary, is a condition that receives little acknowledgement. Families are less likely to seek treatment for Secondary Infertility; since they’ve already been able to have one baby, they may not even consider the possibility of infertility.
Leading Fertility Researcher Available to Offer Insight Into Solutions to Secondary Infertility
Dr. Werlin, principal investigator and co-founder of GENESIS Network for Reproductive Health, has been a Reproductive Endocrinologist for over two decades. He has assisted in the conception of over 3,000 babies since 1982, and strongly encourages couples to seek help early in order to maximize the likelihood of overcoming Secondary Infertility.
โItโs crucial to get a diagnosis and, if appropriate, be treated as early as possible,โ said Dr. Werlin. โEggs grow older with each passing year.โ
Many causes of Secondary Infertility are similar to those of Primary Infertility, but sometimes the reason a pregnancy does not occur the second or third time around is not easily understood.
โCouples with one child report the same sense of loss and helplessness as couples who have never conceived,โ said Dr. Werlin.
Though they are grateful for their first child, couples who have always dreamed of two and three children family report feeling as though something is missing in their lives. They feel guilty because they believe they are greedy to desire more than one child. There are feelings of failure, and fearfulness can develop around the possibility they may never be able to conceive again. Often there are miscarriages, and their first child may even get neglected as they become overly focused on producing a sibling.
