Infertility is a condition of the reproductive system in which a woman has not been able to get pregnant after 6–12 months without the use of any form of birth control or if the woman has suffered from multiple miscarriages. |

-
Problems with ovulation
-
Blocked fallopian tubes
-
Health or quality of sperm
-
Age
-
Weight
-
Stress
-
Poor nutrition
-
Tobacco smoking
-
Alcohol
-
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
-
Health problems that cause hormonal changes
In some cases, a cause cannot be determined.
