If you are a woman trying to get pregnant, first realize that it is not just about some part of you. If you are ready for a baby, even in your late thirties and forties, you can conceive.

Sometimes there are occasional cycles when an egg is never released. Egg quality and quantity is also very important and often decline with age.Other reasons which can cause fertility issues are:

- Endometriosis;
- Uterine disorder or fibroids;
- Decline in quantity and quality of the cervical fluid;
- Chronic health problems such as overweight, diabetes, high blood pressure.
