Infertility: Causes, Treatments, and Real Stories from India

When your body doesn’t do what it’s supposed to—conceive—it’s not just a medical issue. It’s a quiet, daily grief. Infertility, the inability to get pregnant after a year of regular, unprotected sex. Also known as subfertility, it’s not rare, not shameful, and not always your fault. In India, one in six couples faces this. Many assume it’s the woman’s problem. But male factors like low sperm count or poor motility are just as common—and often ignored.

What causes it? Sometimes it’s simple: blocked tubes, low egg count, or thyroid issues. Other times, it’s lifestyle—stress, poor sleep, or diets high in sugar and processed foods. CoQ10, a natural compound that supports cellular energy is showing up in fertility clinics because it helps both eggs and sperm function better. And then there’s IVF, in vitro fertilization, where eggs are fertilized outside the body. It’s not magic. It’s expensive, emotionally draining, and often fails. But for many, it’s the only path forward.

The hardest part? No one talks about the loneliness. The silence at family dinners. The guilt you feel even when you know it’s not your fault. The way your body feels like a stranger. The cost—thousands of rupees per cycle, with no guarantee. And yet, people keep trying. Because hope doesn’t need a guarantee. It just needs a chance.

Below, you’ll find real stories from people who’ve walked this path in India. You’ll see what actually works, what doesn’t, and what no one tells you before you start. Whether you’re just beginning to ask questions or you’re on your third IVF cycle, this isn’t just information. It’s company.
