What Causes Difficulty In Falling Pregnant?
hi im 25 and have a 4 year old daughter.i fell pregnant within weeks of trying. but now my partner and i have been trying for nearly a year and still havnt fell pregnant. i have read about secondary infertility and im getting very worried that this is affecting us. i know i shouldnt let it take over but its all im thinking about now. im very lucky as my partner and i have a very strong relationship but each month i just feel like a failular. i had a very bad birth with my daughter so im also worried that something may have got damaged. my partner and i dont smoke and we have cut down our drinking.

Hi,
Relax.You are just 25 and have a previous pregnancy ,so their is a very good chance that you will conceive again.
Good that you do not smoke or drink ,but since you have been trying for a year its best that you get evaluated by a gynaecologist or infertility specialist.
you can start with basic things like sperm count, Serum FSH,LH prolactin levels and a pelvic ultrasound.
Also start taking folic acid tablets .
A previous bad birth can have a negative impact but you need to realized that second birth is much easier than the first and counselling with midwife/doctor with whom you will be can help a lot in overcoming the fear.
Hope this helps.
Regards
