Other Factors Affecting Fertility
Besides age, fertility can be influenced by:
Lifestyle habits: diet, stress, exercise
Chronic health conditions or medications
Past reproductive disorders or surgeries
Tip from Iswarya: Early evaluation can identify these issues and improve chances of conception before fertility declines significantly.
Signs Age May Be Affecting Fertility
