What Are Five Causes Of Infertility? - #60399
I am really worried about these infertility issues I have been dealing with for the last couple years. Like, my periods have been super irregular, and sometimes they just don’t show up at all! I read somewhere that irregularities can be linked to infertility issues, and it’s freaking me out. I mean, I’m only in my early 30s and always thought I would have kids by now. There were a few months where I thought I might be pregnant, but then nothing. I don’t even know what to think anymore. I have tried talking to my friends about it, but they don’t really get how much this weighs on me mentally. I’m just stuck on this loop of worrying about what could be causing these infertility issues. Is it something hormonal? Or are there like five main causes of infertility that I should know about? And honestly, what are some signs I should be looking out for that might indicate I’m dealing with infertility? I feel like I’m going crazy trying to find answers. I really want to tackle these infertility issues head-on and figure out what's happening with my body, but it isn’t easy. Like, how does one even start to manage the mental side of it all? Any advice would be super helpful!
