This article includes many points that are vital to communicate to our OB/Gyn. Things that need to be brought up and asked.
A vital item is left out. Sexual desire, or lack thereof, is spoken about. Directly after that is "opposite" problem, of not wanting more children.
Actually, that is not the opposite problem of lack of sexual desire. The opposite problem of not wanting more children, is wanting children.
An essential piece, given the statistics of infertility (1out of 6 couples not conceiving within a year) is conception. If you have been trying to conceive and it's not happening, bring it up with your OB. If you would like children at some point, bring it up. If you are delaying conception due to career, lack of partner, etc, bring it up. The point here, is BRING IT UP. Your OB/Gyn can give you the most accurate, up to date information on how long it should take to get pregnant, how you can ehnhance the possibility of getting pregnant, what the ramifications of aging and conception are and so on.
This is a tremendously important converstaion to have with your doctor.
Thank you,
