1. Ovulation disorders: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), hormonal imbalances, or ovulation problems.
2. Tubal damage: Blockage or scarring of the fallopian tubes due to surgery, infection, or endometriosis.
3. Endometriosis: Growth of tissue outside the uterus, leading to inflammation, scarring, and adhesions.
4. Uterine abnormalities: Fibroids, polyps, or congenital anomalies.
5. Age: Decreased fertility with advancing age, especially after 35.
6. Hormonal imbalances: Thyroid disorders, prolactin levels, or other hormonal issues.
