Hi! I am Marinela. I am 34 years old. I am married for 2 years. I am trying to get pregnant for all that time. I am now worried that we did not succeed yet. I am afraid that something is wrong with me or with my husband. I want to have a baby. I hope this is just temporary. I could not take to live my life without a child. I am worried that I will not be able to conceive no matter what I do. I read about it a lot. After a year of trying without results we could say that this is infertility. We are trying for 2 years and I think it's not normal. My husband was drinking a lot before we met. I am afraid that this is the problem. Can you tell me can this be a reason for infertility?

Hi Marinela. I am sorry about your problem. Drinking alcohol can make it more difficult to conceive. Alcohol can reduce fertility in both men and women.If a man drinks heavily it can really reduce a couple’s chances of conceiving. A healthy lifestyle in general is key to making sure your fertility is in tip top shape. This includes eating well and exercising to make sure you’re a healthy weight. I don't know if alcohol has anything to with your case because he stoped with that. I don't how long it takes to get well. I am not sure that alcohol can leave long-term effects. It's good that he is not drinking anymore. There is a chance that it's not a problem at all. However, you need to see a doctor. Both of you must go to detail checkup. Don't wait any longer.

I heard that even one glass of alcohol can decrease fertility by 50%. Alcohol consumption affects hormone production. Alcohol is toxic to the delicate sperm producing cells, which may be destroyed completely over time. Alcoholism is also associated with increased estrogen levels in men. This automatically decreases sperm production .Alcohol may contribute to prostate cancer in older males.The news is not all bad. The harmful effects of alcohol can be reversed just by abstaining from alcohol. Ideally for the 120 days.That it takes to form healthy sperm. I believe that your husband is stoped drinking much earlier. It's goo that he did. For health and for family happiness. I agre with Katty. You must go to the doctor and then you will know what is the reason for trying so long.

Thank you for answers. My husband don't drink almost 2 years. According to this alcohol probably is not a reason in our case. I am glad because of my husband. He is a great person. He wanted me to consider this possibility. Now I know what are we going to do. I will call my doctor. I want to start with tests as soon as possible. I don't want to wait. If it is something we can cure it's better to start immediately. I know that it takes time. That's why I will start first in the morning. I hope that the problem is not something that we can not cure. I don't know what will we do in that case.

I am glad that you didn't lose your hope. It's important to start immediately. Every treatment need a time to show the result. I will pray that the proble is not something big. It would be nice that this is something that you can solve with medications. That would be the best scenario. But no matter what stay positive. Don't worry if your doctor tells you bad news. Stay calm and consider other options. I don't know what do you think about infertility clinics? Or about ivf and other methods for getting pregnant? If it would be needed try to think about it. I can tell you that I was in clinic in Ukraine. I went for ivf. That solvd all my problems. My beautiful son is reminder that I was doing the right thing.

Thank you Katty again. I am glad that you solved your problems. I hope that I will have the opportuity to gave birth. It's all I ever wanted. I will consider this possibility. If nothing else will work why not. I want to try everything. I will not lose my hope. I will try to stay calm no matter what. If there is any way to get pregnant I will try it. I have my husband who loves me very much. I want to live with him for the rest of the life. But I think that a child will be something that will bring even more happiness in our lives. Thank you for suppoort and advices. Wish you all the best. Take care of your child.

Alcohol isn't good for a married couple. Too much consumption of it really cause an effect on fertility. Women are warned for smoking, so alcohol is next level. You should refrain your husband from drinking even occasionally. I really pray you conceive sooner.

Hello Merinela, I hope you are fine. You have mentioned about your husband that he used to drink a lot. Yes, it can be a reason of why you both are unable to have a baby. However, it is not necessary that this issue is due to his drinking habit. It could be anything. You need to consult the doctor about it. You cannot make a particular decision without knowing the real cause behind it. I would suggest you visit a doctor first instead of taking any sort of procedures and treatments on your own. Don’t lose hope. You will definitely get a way out to this problem

If it has been 2 years of TTC then I guess its time to visit the doctor. They will do your and your husband's test. These tests will then determine the cause of the problem. The problem you have mentioned could be an issue! Therefore, inorder to improve your chances do change your eating habits and start living a more healthy life. Good luck to you. Visit the right clinic for the treatment. For more help do let me know.

Hello! How are you? I'm really sorry for your struggles. This could be affecting your fertility. Smoking also has an effect on this sometimes. But I'm pretty sure this can be treated. You should consult your doctor about this. See what he thinks is the problem. 2 years is a long time for TTC. So, I think this is a good time to stop as it is a lost cause. It starts messing with your head. This is not good for your mental health. I'd also suggest taking a break from it for a while. You guys can start the appropriate treatment for this. You can also use donor sperm if you guys are open to that. Don't stress over this okay? I'm sure everything will fall into place. Do update us on what you guys plan on doing about this next.

If it has been 2 years of tying then I think its time that you visit a doctor. You should have visited one after trying for a year. However now dont delay it any more. Visit a good doctor who is experienced. This is something that is really important and shouldn't be ignored. Good luck to you. I am really hoping that things work out for you. If you need any help do let me know.
