Secondary Infertility

Secondary infertility is when a couple are having difficulty getting pregnant, after having had a child through natural conception in the past. It’s natural to presume that, because you’ve had a child before, conception will be just as easy, if not easier, the second or third time around. It may surprise you to know that secondary infertility is just as common as primary infertility, so you are not alone. Secondary infertility can affect both men and women and there are a variety of possible causes. As with primary infertility, there are options that can help, so it’s advisable to contact your doctor.
