Tokophobia can manifest in a variety of symptoms including heightened anxiety and severe panic attacks when thinking about pregnancy.
Infertility means not being able to get pregnant after at least one year of trying (or 6 months if the woman is over age 35). If a woman keeps having miscarriages, it is also called infertility. Female infertility can result from age, physical problems, hormone problems, and lifestyle or environmental factors.

Gravid comes from Latin gravis, meaning "heavy." It can refer to a female who is literally pregnant, and it also has the figurative meanings of pregnant: "full or teeming" and "meaningful." Thus, a writer may be gravid with ideas as she sits down to write; a cloud may be gravid with rain; or a speaker may make a gravid ...
Medically, infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (or after 6 months for women over 35). It does not mean that pregnancy can never happen—it simply means that additional support, testing, or treatment may be needed.
Nulliparous (“nullip”) refers to a patient that has never given birth after 24 weeks gestation.
If you are a first time parent, you can follow the 3-2-1 rule = consistent contractions every 3-5 minutes, for 2 hours, lasting 1 minute or more. If this is a subsequent pregnancy, you can follow the 5-1-1 rule = consistent contractions every 5 minutes or less, for 1 hour, lasting 1 minute.
It's also called an 'anembryonic pregnancy' as there is no embryo (developing baby). In this type of miscarriage, a sac and placenta grow, but there is no baby.
Fertility declines with age in both men and women, but the effects of age are much greater in women. In their 30s, women are about half as fertile as they are in their early 20s, and women's chance of conception declines significantly after age 35. Male fertility also declines with age, but more gradually.
A woman's peak reproductive years are between the late teens and late 20s. By age 30, fertility (the ability to get pregnant) starts to decline. This decline happens faster once you reach your mid-30s. By 45, fertility has declined so much that getting pregnant naturally is unlikely.
Aspermia is the complete lack of semen with ejaculation, due to due to either an inability to transport semen (anejaculation) or to ejaculate in an antegrade direction [1,2], which is associated with infertility.
Women do not remain fertile until menopause. The average age for menopause is 51, but most women become unable to have a successful pregnancy sometime in their mid-40s. These percentages are true for natural conception as well as conception using fertility treatment, including in vitro fertilization (IVF).
What causes infertility?
Yes, you can purchase at-home fertility tests online or at your local pharmacy. There are urine (pee) tests that can show your most fertile days each month. Other tests can check the health and volume of your semen. It's important to note that an at-home fertility test isn't a substitute for a fertility specialist.
A light period is a period that lasts less than two days, and there is very little blood during this time. Light periods do not usually mean that you are less fertile, but it can make it more difficult for you to get pregnant.
