| Infertility is the failure to
conceive after a months of regular sexual activity and perhaps years. It may
also mean the inability to carry a pregnancy to birth. An estimated 1 in 5
couples in the United States has infertility problems. For women, the
more common causes of infertility are blocked fallopian tubes, ovary failure, endometriosis,
poor nutrition, toxins, and fibroids in the uterus.
Some women develop antibodies to their partner's sperm in effect becoming
allergic to them. Stress and fear also play a
major role affecting fertility. For men, the most common problem is low sperm
count or an anatomical abnormality. Several things may effect sperm count like:
exposure to toxins, radiation,
excessive heat, testicle injury, endocrine disorders, alcohol
consumption, recent acute illness, and poor diet. click

| Women and men who have "primary
infertility" have never been able to conceive a baby. And "secondary
infertility" is difficulty conceiving after already having conceived and
either carried the pregnancy to term or suffered a miscarriage. Secondary
infertility is not present if there is a change of partners and this follows
tautologically from the convention of speaking of couples, rather than
individuals, as being infertile; if there is a change of partners, then a new
couple is created, with its own potentially differing chances to be infertile.
The causes of infertility can be either the male, female, or both. Things to
consider:
* Genetic factors:
- Robertsonian translocation in either partner may cause recurrent
spontaneous abortions or complete infertility.
* Diabetes mellitus
* Thyroid disorders
* Adrenal disease
* Hypothalamic-pituitary factors
- Hyperprolactinemia
- Hypopituitarism
The presence of anti-thyroid antibodies is associated with an increased risk of
unexplained subfertility with an odds ratio of 1.5 and 95% confidence interval
of 1.1–2.0.[11]
* Environmental factors
- Toxins such as glues, volatile organic solvents or silicones, physical agents,
chemical dusts, and pesticides.
- Tobacco smokers are 60% more likely to be infertile than non-smokers. |

The following causes of infertility only affecting women. For a woman
to conceive, certain things have to happen: intercourse must take place around
the time when an egg is released from her ovary; the systems that produce eggs
and sperm have to be working at optimum levels; and her hormones must be
balanced.
Some women are infertile because their ovaries do not mature and release
eggs. In this case synthetic FSH by injection or Clomid or Clomiphene citrate
via a pill can be given to stimulate follicles to mature in the ovaries.
Problems affecting women include endometriosis or damage to the fallopian
tubes that may have been caused by infections such as chlamydia.
Other factors that can affect a woman's chances of conceiving include either
being over or underweight, or her age as female fertility becomes worse after
the age of 35. Sometimes fertility problem may be a combination of factors, and
sometimes a clear cause may never established.
Common causes of infertility of females include:
* Ovulation problems
* Tubal blockage
* Age related factors
* Uterine problems
* Previous tubal ligation
* Endometriosis

You would not think of exposing yourself to an Atomic Bomb fallout or
excessive X-rays. But not getting enough vitamins and minerals is just as
dangerous. Cells in your body not getting their vitamins and minerals suffer
both DNA and mitochondrial damage. These cells under a microscope look like they
have been hit with radiation. This type of damage may cause you to age faster
and can lead to Cancer
and other degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and others.
