Why Couples Fail to Conceive Even With Normal Reports

Why Couples Fail to Conceive Even With Normal Reports

For some couples, the process of conceiving a child is a daunting task. The process becomes even more puzzling when, despite normal medical reports, a woman does not conceive. This condition is called unexplained infertility.

While everything may look normal, conception is a delicate process that depends on several factors occurring at the same time. The sooner a couple recognises the issue, the better their chances of conceiving a child, thus eliminating the possibility of future complications.

What is Unexplained Infertility?

Unexplained infertility is a medical condition in which a couple is unable to conceive a child despite having a positive result in tests to determine fertility. This means:

• Ovulation is normal  
• Sperm count and motility are normal  
• Fallopian tubes are open  
• No anatomical abnormalities  

However, pregnancy is not achieved.

Types of Unexplained Infertility

Although there are no strict medical categories of unexplained infertility, it is easier to understand if we look at it from the perspective of how long we have been trying to conceive. Here is a more familiar way of looking at it:

1. Just Started Trying to Conceive, But Nothing is Happening Yet

This is for those who have been trying to conceive for:

• Less than 1 year if they are below 35 years of age
• Less than 6 months if they are above 35 years of age

At this stage of the problem, there is no need to worry too much. With the right timing and some lifestyle changes, many couples conceive within a short period.

2. Trying to Conceive for a While, But Nothing is Happening Yet

This is for those who have been trying to conceive for more than 1-2 years. 

The chances of natural conception may decrease with time, and seeking proper medical guidance or treatment becomes important.

Signs You Might Be Facing Unexplained Infertility

Unlike most other health conditions, unexplained infertility does not usually come with any signs or symptoms. This is what makes it so confusing and difficult emotionally for both partners.

However, there are a few signs that can point to something being wrong with your reproductive health. They are as follows:

• You are not able to conceive despite regular attempts
• Even after regular unprotected intercourse for several months, pregnancy does not occur.
• Normal ovulation, but something is not right
• Your ovulation cycle appears to be normal, but something is not right with it. This is not always noticeable.
• Minor hormonal imbalances
• These are not always noticeable in reports, but can affect you at a deeper level.
• Emotional stress and pressure
• Stress and pressure can both be a result and a cause of not being able to conceive.

Causes of Unexplained Infertility

Even if the tests show that ovulation is normal, there may still be other underlying reasons for the couple's inability to conceive:

• Poor egg quality despite normal ovulation
• Sperm function problems that don't show up in regular tests
• Implantation failure, the fertilized egg doesn't implant in the uterus
• Hormonal imbalances to a tiny degree
• Immune system problems that affect the implantation of the egg
• Timing – missing the fertile window
• Stress and other lifestyle problems, such as a poor diet, lack of sleep, and smoking

What Increases the Risk & What Happens If You Ignore It

While your reports might be normal, there are certain lifestyle and health factors that might silently affect your chances of getting pregnant. It’s important to understand these factors early on, which will help you take the right steps at the right time.

Factors That May Be Affecting Your Chances

• Age factor (after 30-35 years)
• Our fertility levels decrease with age, even if your reports are normal.
• Lack of physical activity
• Lack of exercise might affect your hormone levels.
• Weight factor (being overweight or underweight)
• Excess or less weight might affect your ovulation.
• Stress
• Mental stress might affect your hormone levels.
• Poor eating habits
• Poor eating habits might affect your egg or sperm quality.
• Hormonal imbalances
• Mild imbalances might affect your fertility cycle.

What Can Happen If It’s Left Unaddressed

• Increased emotional stress
• Unsuccessful attempts might affect your mental health.
• Strains in your relationship
• Unsuccessful attempts might strain your relationship.
• Decreased chances of conception
• Our fertility levels decrease with age.
• Need for complex treatments

Ignoring your health might result in the need for complex treatments.

How is Unexplained Infertility Diagnosed? 

When all medical tests show normal results, yet conception is not happening, it is diagnosed as unexplained infertility. Both modern medicine and Ayurveda examine this condition from their own distinct point of view.

Modern Diagnosis

In modern medicine, doctors try to rule out every conceivable cause of infertility through tests. They are:

• Ovulation tracking: Conducted through tests to confirm whether eggs are being ovulated properly

• Semen analysis: Involves testing sperm count, sperm movement, and sperm shape

• HSG (tube test): Ensures that the fallopian tubes are open and functioning properly
• Hormonal blood tests: Involves testing hormonal levels such as thyroid, prolactin, estrogen, etc.
• Ultrasound of the pelvis: Involves checking for abnormalities in the uterus or ovaries

When every other test is normal, yet conception is not happening, it is diagnosed as unexplained infertility.

Ayurvedic Diagnosis (A Deeper, Root-Cause Approach)

Ayurvedic diagnosis is not just about listening to the patient; it is about detecting minute imbalances in the body, which may not even be reflected in any tests.

• Prakriti (Body Constitution) Analysis

Understanding if the patient has a dominant Vata, Pitta, or Kapha type and how this impacts fertility.

• Dosha Imbalance Assessment

Understanding imbalances in the three doshas, or body humours, which include Vata (movement), Pitta (metabolism), and Kapha (structure), and how they impact fertility.

• Nadi Pariksha (Pulse Diagnosis)

This is a traditional form of diagnosis to detect imbalances in the body, which affect individual organs.

• Agni (Digestive Fire) Evaluation

Understanding the impact of poor digestion, which may lead to the accumulation of toxins in the body, affecting reproductive health.

• Dhatu (Tissue Health) Assessment

Understanding the quality of reproductive tissues, known as Shukra Dhatu, in men and women.

• Lifestyle & Mental Health Analysis

Understanding the patient's lifestyle, which has a huge impact on fertility.

Understanding Unexplained Infertility as per Ayurveda

Unexplained infertility, as per Ayurveda, does not exist as ‘unexplained.’ Instead, it is a condition caused by minute imbalances in the body, which might not be evident from medical reports.

Ayurvedic Explanation of Successful Conception

For a woman to conceive, four factors must come together:

• Shukra & Artava: Healthy reproductive tissues
• Ritu: Proper timing
• Kshetra: A well-nourished uterus
• Ambu: A well-nourished body and mind

When any of these factors are out of balance, it affects fertility.

Root Causes of Infertility as per Ayurveda

• Vata Imbalance: Affects movement, which might impede ovulation or implantation
• Pitta Imbalance: Affects hormones, which might result in inflammation
• Kapha Imbalance: Affects blockages, which might impede reproductive health
• Formation of Ama: A blockage caused by toxins
• Poor digestion: A weak digestive system might result in poor tissue formation
