Secondary Infertility
Having difficulties conceiving your second child can be hard to understand when your first child seemed to come along with no problem at all. However this situation (known as secondary infertility) is quite common. About 20% of couples will experience this and it can be caused by many factors -principally hormonal imbalance.
Having a small child to care for may also be a contributing factor since it doesn’t leave you as much time for each other as before. Again the confidence and knowledge of knowing when you are fertile can make all the difference – right down to practical details of asking the grandparents to do some babysitting!

I suggest that monitoring body basal temperature using a fertility monitor such as DuoFertility would be the best option for her.” DuoFertility has been shown to effectively help couples overcome the difficulty of getting pregnant while suffering from secondary infertility with success as high as the one of IVF.
