When the Second Time Isn’t as Easy as the First
You’ve had a child before — naturally or with assistance. But now, trying to conceive again is unexpectedly difficult. You’re not alone. Secondary infertility affects many couples and can be just as emotionally painful and medically complex as primary infertility.
At Sparsh IVF, we bring together expert diagnostics, compassionate care, and cutting-edge treatment options to help couples build the next chapter of their family.
Secondary infertility is the inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term after previously giving birth to one or more children without the use of fertility treatments.
