"There are many treatment options for infertility, including medications to correct hormonal issues, surgery and fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF)."

Problems with ovulation are the most common reasons for infertility in women. A woman's age, hormonal imbalances, weight, exposure to chemicals or radiation and cigarette smoking all have an impact on fertility. Other reasons include:

• Cervical mucus issues.
• Endometriosis.
• Damage to the fallopian tubes.
• Poor nutrition.
• Polycystic ovary syndrome.
• Uterine fibroids.
