  1. The Failure of Pregnancy In some cases, a baby cannot come to our world, there are three reasons for this. They are infertility, miscarriage and contraception. We will explain each of them to you in the following. 1

  2. Infertility Infertility always comes from natural and there also some causes of infertility as follow: 2

  3. Causes of Infertility • Blocked oviducts -- there may prevent ova and sperm meeting, in which case an operation may be undertaken to unblock the tubes or in vitro fertilization can be attempt. • An irregular menstrual cycle -- this may make the chance of fertilization remote and hormone treatment necessary to regularize the cycle. 3

  4. Incorrect frequency and/or timing of intercourse may take conception unlikely and couples may need to be counseled on the most appropriate time (the middle of the menstrual cycle) to have sexual intercourse in order to increase the possibility of fertilization. 4

  5. Non-production of ova -- this affects a few females making it impossible for them to contribute genetically to their offspring. Adoption or the use of a donated ovum from another female for insemination of a surrogate mother with the potential father’s sperm is another option. 5

  6. Non-production of sperm -- some men produce no sperm, or so few that there is little realistic prospect of conception. Donated semen from another male can be used to artificially inseminate the woman. 6
