Irregular periods can significantly affect fertility by making it difficult to predict ovulation and the most fertile days for conception. Hormonal imbalances or irregular ovulation can hinder the release of mature eggs, reducing the chances of successful fertilization. Couples trying to conceive may face challenges in timing intercourse accurately, prompting them to seek medical guidance to address potential fertility issues. Low egg reserve or low AMH may also present with transient period irregularities.

Endometriosis is a condition where the tissue lining the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, typically on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other pelvic organs. This can lead to the formation of adhesions and scar tissue, which may block the fallopian tubes or interfere with the normal function of the reproductive organs. Additionally, endometriosis can cause inflammation and hormonal imbalances that may negatively impact fertility and also decrease ovarian reserve faster.

Yes, previous pelvic surgeries can potentially affect fertility. Surgeries in the pelvic region, such as those involving the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or uterus, can lead to adhesions or scar tissue formation. These adhesions may block the fallopian tubes, interfere with egg release or implantation, or disrupt the normal functioning of the reproductive organs, making conception more challenging.

History of miscarriages can potentially impact future fertility. Recurrent miscarriages may indicate underlying health issues, genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, or structural abnormalities that can affect the ability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term. Seeking medical evaluation after recurrent miscarriages can help identify and address any underlying causes and improve the chances of a successful pregnancy in the future.

Yes, fibroids can affect fertility. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can interfere with conception and pregnancy. Depending on their location and size, they may block the fallopian tubes, affect embryo implantation, or cause complications during pregnancy. Consulting a healthcare provider can help address fibroid-related fertility concerns.
