Secondary infertility would affect 14% of women aged 15 to 49, according to a study conducted by the Centers for disease control and prevention in charge of disease control and prevention in the United States. This term refers to the inability to get pregnant after having already had a first child naturally.
Age, a major cause

This problem would be as common as primary infertility and it can be explained in various ways. One of the most common causes is age. Indeed, some couples have their first child quite late and by the time they want a second, the quantity and quality of the woman’s remaining eggs may be altered. It is the same for the man with the quality and quantity of sperm.
“Sometimes there is absolutely no explanation”
