Rubina Dilaik’s Journey with Low AMH Levels and Fertility
Actress Rubina Dilaik, in her podcast “Kisine Bataya Nahi: The Motherhood Journey,” shared her experiences and challenges with pregnancy and motherhood. One of the key issues she faced was low Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels, which affected her ability to conceive naturally. AMH levels indicate a woman’s ovarian reserve and remaining egg supply; low levels suggest a reduced reserve and potential fertility issues.
Medical Assistance and Pregnancy
Dilaik mentioned that her doctor had advised her to opt for medical assistance like in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI) if she did not conceive within a specific timeframe. This recommendation is common among couples battling mild fertility issues, especially if the woman is attempting to conceive at an advanced age.
Unexpected Conception
Despite trying to conceive for three months, Dilaik faced disappointment. However, in the very month she decided to take a break from actively trying, she conceived unexpectedly. This highlights the unpredictable nature of conception and the emotional challenges couples with fertility issues may face.
Post-Pregnancy Intimacy
After the birth of her baby, Dilaik and a fellow actress candidly discussed how intimacy with their husbands dwindled. They attributed this to a lack of time and feeling too exhausted to engage in intimate moments. Many new parents experience this situation as the demands of caring for a newborn can overwhelm personal time and romance.
Hormonal and Emotional Factors
Hormonal changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect sexual desire and arousal. Additionally, the emotional adjustments and stress associated with new parenthood can further contribute to a decline in intimacy. Experts recommend open communication between couples, prioritizing self-care, and seeking support if necessary to navigate these challenges.
