Infertility

[Rachael LingParticipant]

I just read it might be helpful to stay abstinent for a longer period before sexual intercourse. How long would you suggest should these abstinence be?

[KL Fertility CentreParticipant]

Hi Rachael, your abstinence should not be too long! You should aim to have sex 2-3 times a week during your fertile period and sex every 1 or 2 days intervals during fertile window.

Can you give advice how long a couple should try to conceive before seeking professional help?

[KL Fertility CentreParticipant]

Hey Denise, thank your for your question. Sometime, just giving a little more time is all what you may need. Generally, after 1 year of trying to conceive, 80% of couple will succeed. If given another year , 90% of couples will succeed. However, pregnancy rate reduces in older women and men.

I would like to know what is the different of IVF and ICSI? Can you help with that?

[KL Fertility CentreParticipant]

Hi Syazana, of course we can 🙂 The process for you is the same. The difference is in the way we fertilise the eggs. ICSI involved injection of a single sperm into one egg and it benefits couples with male factor infertility.

Hi there, I am afraid my general health condition is not good enough to get pregnant. Do you got some advice for me?

[KL Fertility CentreParticipant]

In general you must make sure that you are healthy enough before a pregnancy. If you have any underlying illnesses such as Diabetes Mellitus or high blood pressure, make sure it is well controlled. Uncontrolled illnesses not only makes it difficult to get pregnant, but you run a higher risk of complication during pregnancy. You should also take pre-conception vitamins such as folic acid. You should stop smoking and stop consumption of any recreational drugs.

Is there any supplement to take before getting pregnant?

Yes. You can start with folic acid supplements three months prior to getting pregnant. It can help to prevent neural tube defects in your baby.

Other than smoking and alcohol, what are the possible reasons contributed for infertility?

[KL Fertility CentreParticipant]

There are a lot of factors when it comes to infertility. It’s recommended that you consult the doctors to understand more about it. However, other than smoking and alcohol, you should also concern about your diet. Eat a healthy balanced diet and increase the intake of fruits and vegetables. Besides that, stress might be the reason that increases your infertility. Spend some times to do the things you love to reduce your stress.
