Female Infertility
Understanding the causes of infertility in women is an important part of building a personalized plan for treatment. IVF Florida uses advanced diagnostic tools and a whole-person approach to evaluate fertility concerns and help patients feel empowered and confident about their next steps.

What causes female infertility?
There are many reasons someone may have difficulty getting pregnant. In some cases, there’s a clear medical explanation. In others, the cause may be harder to identify.
Common causes of female infertility include:
- Ovulatory disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hypothalamic amenorrhea
- Diminished ovarian reserve, a decrease in the number or quality of available eggs
- Endometriosis, when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus
- Uterine abnormalities, such as fibroids, polyps, or congenital differences in the shape of the uterus
- Tubal factor infertility, including blocked, damaged, or missing fallopian tubes
- Unexplained infertility, when standard testing reveals no clear cause
- Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as two or more miscarriages
Your doctor may recommend diagnostic testing—including bloodwork, an ultrasound to evaluate the uterus and ovaries, or a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) to help evaluate the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes—to better understand the underlying cause.
How age affects fertility
Age plays a major role in female fertility. As you get older, the number and quality of your eggs naturally decline. This decrease begins gradually in your early 30s and becomes more pronounced after age 35. By your early 40s, it can be significantly more difficult to conceive without assistance.
Understanding the connection between age and fertility can help guide decisions around timing, treatment, and planning for the future. If you’re not yet ready to grow your family, fertility preservation options like egg freezing may help extend your reproductive potential.
