Are We the Reason We're Not Getting Pregnant?

Trying to conceive can be an exciting and nerve-wracking time. You may have questions about your fertility and whether or not you're ng everything you can to get pregnant. If you've been trying for a while without success, you may start to wonder if you're the reason why. There are a number of factors that can affect fertility, and it's important to know what they are so that you can take steps to improve your chances of getting pregnant.

Age

Age is one of the most important factors that affect fertility. Women are most fertile in their early 20s, and their fertility begins to decline after age 35. This is because the number and quality of eggs a woman produces decreases with age. Men's fertility also declines with age, but not as significantly as women's. However, older men are more likely to have children with birth defects.
