The process of human fertility is an issue that touches millions of lives across the world. There are thousands upon thousands of couples who for one reason or another are having difficulty becoming pregnant. Many try the numerous fertility treatments that are available and some succeed, while many others fail. Many simply give up hope of ever being able to start a family. But there is a saying that says, "Where there is life, there is hope."

This section of the health-image.com website is dedicated to the problems of infertility and in a series of related articles, goes into this often painful subject in some depth. It is here to bring hope to people who may be feeling hopeless, powerless and at the end of their tether.

First Hand Experience of Infertility

The author and his partner have first hand experience of the trauma of being unable to conceive naturally. We had been through countless medical tests, screenings, blood tests, DNA tests and round after round of consultations with fertility experts. In the end, after three failed IVF attempts, the fourth brought us our beautiful daughter. At the time, we were aged 43 and 50.

So if you are thinking that it may never happen to you, all we can say is; "Never give up." Because if you never give up, you can never fail.
