Do you think it is age? Do you think it is years of being on the pill? I know at least 10 babies born to IVF, I know lots of professional women who have waited, may be too long, although some have only been late twenties. IVF is not available on the NHS after 35 (i think) or certainly around that age.

I am not aware of any data suggesting any real decrease in female fertility over the last 50 years, although there is a marked and well reported decrease in males, with both lower sperm counts and more abnormal and less motile sperm.
Certainly I think there is, in many developed countries a tendency to put off pregnancy until women are older, and since fertility does decline with age, this leads to more women who are trying to get pregnant having problems. I am not convinced the pill increases infertility other than by simply making it easier to put off pregnancy until later.
STDs can decrease fertility but they have always been with us and are not currently at their peak.
You are also right to comment that there are increasing limitations to the use of infertility treatments on the NHS. Age is one, either partner having children even from a previous partnership is another.

certainly there are a number of adoption corporation's and fertility clinics that grant what's referred to as embryo adoption. the place couples who've the two used IVF to get pregnant effectively or have stopped attempting provide their would desire to be toddlers to couples who can even have fertility problems or basically choose to adventure the excitement of start and adoption at the same time. the adoption of the embryos paintings basically like the adoption of an considerable different and toddlers toddler. the adopting determine(s) and the start mum and dad agree on the point of openness and the adopting couple would desire to finished an corporation utility and domicile-study. i comprehend this via fact as a expert existence Christian (without fertility matters BTW) who has considered adoption I too think of that embryos are comparable to toddlers (sperm+egg=infant). that's not something i will locate the money for to do appropriate now (approximately $15000 besides the undeniable fact that that's nonetheless surprisingly low-value so some distance as adoptions circulate), besides the undeniable fact that that's something i'd desire to nonetheless do interior the destiny. i comprehend it might desire to no longer be something you go with to hearken to yet their are Christians who use fertility remedies the excellent and ethical way & they do no longer seem to be evil. You your self mentioned that folk would desire to look in any respect the information, and right that's a certainty: fairly some professional existence Christians use IVF and nonetheless care relating to the embryos they convey.

I think its because of the life style of us women today. we go on the pill at a very early age and wait so long to get off it to have kids because we are busy with our careers. we drink and smoke so much and we diet the hell out of our bodies taking pills again to help with weight loss. we live unhealthy lives and we pay for it.

clomide/clomid is widely used in infertility if your reproductive system is ok.
