Persuasive Essay On Having A Child

Infertility is the incapability or failure conceive after one year of unprotected sexual intercourse or due to an impairment a person’s capacity to reproduce either as an individual or with his/her partner. While infertility can cause issues in men and women, women are more susceptible to having issues conceiving naturally. 1 in 8 women (or 12% of married couples) have trouble getting pregnant or sustaining a pregnancy (2006-2010 National Survey of Family Growth, CDC). There is a process in which three stages such as ovulation, fertilization, and implantation that a women’s body must go through to get pregnant. When there are issues in these stages, infertility is diagnosed and examined by a doctor therefore, making it hard to conceive a baby naturally. Throughout this paper, I will explain three common causes of infertility in females like endometriosis, sexual transmitted diseases, and poor nutrition.

Daniel and I knew from the moment we met we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. You could say it was love at first sight. As unbeleivable as it may be we knew when we met we wanted to have a family together ASAP! Through "trying" naturally Dan and I were unsuccessfull in the first 6 months, at this point we figured rather be safe than sorry and reached out to a reproductive endrocrologist for assistance. Since then in 2011 it has been 5 years of unsuccesfully trying for a child. Without getting into the details we have done 12 medicated procdures totalling thousdands of dollars over the years with no success. Our most recent try was this past month (November 2015) which also was unsuccessfull.

The number one cause of infertility in women is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). It is an endocrine disorder, which affects 7%, or one out of fifteen, women in the population. CITE Although reducing body weight by 10% has shown to improve frequency of ovulation and chances of conception, this is one of the few nonmedical interventions a women can try in order to improve the possibility for pregnancy. All other forms of treatment require a medical or pharmaceutical

The road to parenthood is not all fun and games though, a lot can go wrong. For example there are a number of diseases that both males and females can receive. (Zimmerman, Kim Ann). Cancer is usually the main one people think of, but there is also STD's, HIV, AIDS, and they are all spread from person to person from sexual activity. Along with all the diseases there are many things that can prevent a child from being produced: "Infertility in women is considered a disorder." (Zimmerman, Kim Ann). Although infertility is not a disorder in the male, it is in women because of the fact that the woman carries the babies in their bodies. The partners only need one person to be infertile but also they wont know that they are until the usual birthing process would supposed to be happening. Other problems can occur other than disease, like a pre or post mature baby or in extreme cases even a miscarriage. There are also gender specific cases, the most common is Erectile Disfunction which happens in 1 out of 10 males, doctors are providing pills to erase this condition. (Zimmerman, Kim Ann). Just because you have any one of these conditions does not mean that all hope is lost for having a kid: "Reproductive conditions are treated by a variety of specialists." (Zimmerman, Kim Ann).

Pro-choice has been a major topic ever since the women’s movements started in the early 1970’s, a question sometimes asked is that, if part of the population are so pro-life and worry about protecting a fetus, how come when the child is conceived they suddenly bash at you for having that unwanted child anyways, and that is hypocritical. In this essay, details include would be why people choose to be pro-choice, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the battle for reproductive justice for women and their right to make decisions for their body, advocates that are pro-choice, proposals for a pro-choice government, and Tomi Lahren being fired for stating she was pro-choice.

For hundreds of years, women have been fighting for one basic thing; women want to be equals and have the rights to their lives and bodies. Women have been fighting for the right to own property, to vote, to have equal pay and to have reproductive rights. While each has been a struggle, reproductive rights are one of the most controversial, argued topics. It is more widely accepted for men to walk away from a pregnancy, but women do not have the same option without being hassled at every turn. Whether agreed on morally or not, a woman should have a choice in having an abortion or carrying to the point of viability, meaning when a fetus can sustain life outside the womb.

I am one of many that are incapable of having kids on my own without the help from doctors. Having been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome at a younger age, I am one of many women who are not able to have kids on my own. I know that “missing” feeling people get when you start to plan out your life, not knowing if one day the gap will be filled or if you should fill the void with something else. This is where I want to be; the space between life and the gap; to try and help fill the inconsistency of others that share this discomfort. There is not anything more discomforting than someone with multiple kids patting your back, whispering soothing tones of “sorry” and wishful promises of, “it will happen for you one day.” Why, because you have the uterus of a donut machine at the local Krispy Kreme? I want to be the person there saying “I know what it’s like, and I’m going to be here to help you through this process.” This is why it is important to me to become a nurse in the field of infertility; to help others with this problem would not only provide me great satisfaction, but it will also help me to understand my own struggles with this problem.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services (2005), approximately 10% to 15% of couples would experience infertility in some form. Infertility occurs when a couple tries to have children without any success (Chandra, 2005). Though most cases of infertility can be attributed to physiological factors in one or both partners, it still has a psychological impact on the relationship. The psychological and mental effects of fertility are present in both men and women, but there are options to help a couple get through it.

Infertility can be extremely challenging for couples to overcome. It can be not only physically draining, but emotionally and mentally as well. Infertility can be easily compared to a roller coaster, with emotions going up and down from hope and optimism plummeting down to frustration and even grief after many the couple has tried for a long period of time. While for me personally, I first think of women when I think of infertility, the men play a large role as well. They are also hoping for children and the biological reason for the infertility can be from either sex. Research has also shown that infertility can make physically difficult and cause anxiety in couples, which could led to increased difficulty in conceiving (Domar & Gordon,

There are some things you can do to increase your chances of conceiving. For example, make sure you and your partner are eating healthy foods and exercising regularly. Keeping a healthy body is the best way to make sure everything is working properly.

Having babies is a common part of life. Unfortunately, not every individual is able to do this due to biological or other issues. Infertility and being unable to bear a child due to issues such as orientation affect a lot of individuals and couples. According to Brezina and Zhao (2012), “worldwide, more than 70 million couples are afflicted with infertility” (p.1). Sadly, this creates a lot of stress and heartache for those who wish to have kids but are unable to. Beginning in 1978, this changed when the first in vitro (IVF) baby was born. The birth of Louise Brown also commonly known as the first test tube baby was very important in the explosion of IVF in the years to come. This gave hope to many individuals and couples throughout the world

It is a rather disturbing experience for any woman to find out that for one reason or the other she may not become pregnant and have children of her own. In such cases, she may undergo assisted reproductive technology and adoption attempts. But if they fail, the only remaining option she will have is surrogacy. (Sclater, 2003)

Others, may even need to take certain supplements or undergo fertility treatments to become pregnant.
