Finding Hope After Your First Child...

What Is Secondary Infertility?

Many couples are surprised when conceiving a second child becomes difficult, especially after already having had a successful pregnancy. This is called secondary infertility, and it can be just as emotionally challenging as primary infertility.

At Xi Fertility & Women’s Health TCM Centre, we understand that every fertility journey is unique. Through the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we help mothers and couples restore balance, replenish vitality, and create the best conditions for welcoming another child.

Why Does Secondary Infertility Happen?

Secondary infertility may be caused by a range of factors:

Age-related fertility changes – egg and sperm quality naturally decline over time.
Post-pregnancy depletion – previous pregnancies, breastfeeding, and childcare may weaken the body’s Qi (energy) and Blood.
C-section or miscarriage effects – uterine scarring, adhesions, or poor circulation can affect implantation.
Stress and fatigue – caring for children while balancing work and life can create physical and emotional strain.
Male factor infertility – sperm quality may change with age, stress, or health issues.
