One Little Imbalance Was Stopping Naomi From Falling Pregnant

If you’ve had all the tests, and nobody’s yet found a reason … it can be extremely frustrating and demoralising.

Sometimes we never know exactly why things happen the way they do. Sometimes things just can’t be explained by scientific tests.

In Australia, it is estimated that 20% of couples are suffering from infertility at any given time. This number has increased steadily over the last 50 years, which has lead researchers to blame everything from increased maternal age to toxic overload. However 10% of all infertile couples will not be able to find out why they cannot conceive. The medical profession is left to shrug its collective shoulders and explain to these people that they are something of a mystery.
