Conception should be a simple process where the sperm fertilises the egg and baby is born a few months later - in most cases, it is this simple as nature intended. In others, it takes a little bit longer due to certain factors that play a role so lets understand them:
Sperm: Your partner must be producing adequate amounts (average of 60-80 million per ml) of normal, healthy and good quality sperm
Age: Women over 35yrs may have reduced chances of conception
Timings: Your fertile days must coincide with the time when sperm enter your body (Use an Ovulation Test)
Location issues? Your partner's sperm should be able to locate your egg
Successful fertilisation must occur between sperm and egg
Lifestyle: diet, healthy lifestyle are important
