Is infertility just a woman’s problem?

No, infertility is not only due to female factors. Both women and men can have problems that cause infertility. About one-third of infertility cases are caused by female factors. Another one third of infertility problems are due to male factors. The other cases are caused by a combination of male and female factors or by unexplained problems.

What factors increase a woman’s risk of infertility?

Female age – we know that after the age of 35, the chances of falling pregnant naturally start to decline exponentially and egg quality decreases substantially. Smoking and excessive alcohol use can have a negative impact by damaging the egg quality. Lifestyle factors such as stress, poor diet and excessive athletic training can increase the chances of infertility. Being overweight or underweight, as this will affect ovulation.
