Medical Video: Women's Health : How to Conceive After Birth Control
Contraception is usually a solution for couples who are not ready or do not want to have children. However, did you know that the use of family planning still needs to be considered by couples who have been convicted of infertility? In particular, infertile women still need to use contraception, you know! I wonder why?
Infertile women may still be able to get pregnant
Sentenced to infertility does not mean you cannot have children. Infertile women can still get pregnant, although the chances may be small.
Most couples who find it hard to get pregnant are because one or both of them are infertile, not because they are infertile. Whether because of the low number of male sperm or the woman's ovulation problems, the possibility of getting pregnant naturally (not using medical assistance) is still present in infertile couples.
Different from barren, which means you can not have children at all. For example, if the woman's fallopian tubes are completely blocked, that means the woman is barren. Or, if a man has zero sperm count (azoospermia), that means he is infertile. Fertilization is impossible in a situation like this without the help of artificial reproductive technology, such as IVF or insemination.
The decision to use KB even though it is not fertile, depends on the plan of your life both in the future
The decision to use contraception after being convicted of infertility may sound a little strange. You might be amazed, "Well, I have been trying desperately for hami, why should it be prevented now?" Some may even feel guilty for thinking about using contraception, they just refuse sustenance that can come at any time.
However, there are several reasons that can underlie the consideration of many infertile couples to use contraception. Remember, referring to the explanation above, infertility does not mean you cannot get pregnant. The possibility of pregnancy still exists, even though it's small.
For infertile couples who have had success with previous children, using contraception can help them not get pregnant too soon. Some couples may not want to have at least two children who are too close. Others choose to use family planning for a while until you both decide whether to have more children or not. Or maybe, you and your partner think that having a small family with just one child is enough.
While for infertile couples who have never been pregnant, the reason for using KB to prevent pregnancy can be based on a short break from prolonged stress after repeatedly trying to get pregnant. Stress due to continuous pregnancy can undermine the physical and psychological health of both parties. Or after all the efforts to try to get pregnant have never been successful, you and your partner finally both choose to live alone together without children. The use of family planning can guarantee your plan going forward without having to worry about "missed" unplanned pregnancy.
Regardless of your condition, you have had a child before or not, your doctor may also advise you not to become pregnant for a number of specific medical reasons. Well, the use of family planning even though infertile women can prevent the risk of being pregnant, which might risk your health in the future.
Will birth control make me more difficult to get pregnant?
Not a few women have refused to use contraception since they were convicted of infertility. Apart from feeling fine, they tend to fear that contraception can make it more difficult to become pregnant. Is that right?
Quoting from Verywell, there have been many studies that prove that long-term contraceptive use does not affect women's fertility. Most women can get pregnant in the first 3-12 months after stopping taking birth control pills. If you use a spiral KB alias IUD, you may immediately get pregnant.
Reporting fromEveryday Family, in certain cases the use of long-term birth control pills can actually strengthen infertile female fertility caused by irregular menstrual cycles. Birth control pills can help a woman's menstrual cycle become more organized, thus increasing the chances of optimal fertilization.
Because the decline in fertility of women is more influenced by increasing age and health conditions of each, not just from the type of family planning or how long it is used.
So, discuss with your doctor about the type of contraception that is suitable for your health condition. If you are still hesitant to use hormonal contraception, you can also use physical barrier contraception, such as condoms. Especially regardless of the desire to get pregnant or not, infertile men and women still need to use condoms during sex to prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
