A couple is considered as infertile if they have not been able to reproduce or conceive over a time span of one year after regular and unprotected sex. When the cause of infertility is specific to the female partner, it is known as female infertility. Most cases of female infertility are caused by problems with ovulation. Without ovulation, there are no eggs to be fertilized. Less common causes of fertility problems in women include: Blocked fallopian tubes due to pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, or surgery for an ectopic pregnancy. Pregnancy is the result of a process that has many steps. To get pregnant: A woman’s body must release an egg from one of her ovaries (ovulation), The egg must go through a fallopian tube toward the uterus (womb), A man’s sperm must join with (fertilize) the egg along the way, The fertilized egg must attach to the inside of the uterus (implantation).
