Why can’t I get pregnant? Understanding the reasons and your options
Why can’t I get pregnant? This is one of the most common and emotionally charged questions women ask when conception doesn’t happen as quickly as expected. For many, this question brings frustration, self-doubt and confusion. At Embryowish in Athens, we understand that fertility struggles are not just medical, they are deeply personal. Our role is to provide clarity, compassion and personalised guidance for women from the UK, Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, Canada and beyond.
Many women wonder “what can cause you not to get pregnant” or “why is it difficult for me to get pregnant”, even when everything seems normal. Fertility is influenced by multiple factors, including ovulation patterns, hormone balance, egg quality, sperm health and overall wellbeing. In many cases, there is no single cause, but rather a combination of small factors that, together, delay conception.

Why can’t I get pregnant? Common reasons explained
Questions such as “what are the signs you can’t get pregnant?” or concerns about infertility, symptoms and causes often arise early in the journey. Some women experience irregular cycles, painful periods or hormonal imbalances, while others have no noticeable symptoms at all. This uncertainty can make the experience even more stressful.
When women ask “why some women can’t get pregnant”, the answer often lies in factors such as ovulation disorders, endometriosis, tubal issues or male-factor infertility. These are all part of the common reasons for not getting pregnant, and many of them can be identified through a thorough fertility evaluation. At Embryowish, under the care of Dr. Nikolaos Georgogiannis, we focus on understanding the full picture before recommending any fertility treatments.
How can I increase my chances of getting pregnant?
Once the reasons are clearer, the focus naturally shifts to how can I increase my chances of getting pregnant. The solution is rarely one-size-fits-all. For some women, small adjustments in cycle tracking or hormonal support are enough. For others, more advanced options such as IVF may be recommended.
