Ovulation Problems

Many cases of female infertility are due to problems with ovulation. Without ovulation, fertilization cannot occur. Signs that a woman may not be ovulating normally include irregular or absent menstrual periods.

 

Ovulation problems may be caused by one or more of the following:

  • Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
  • An imbalance of hormones
  • Thyroid issues
  • Shortened menstrual cycles
  • A cyst or tumor in the reproductive system
  • Eating disorders such as bulimia or anorexia
  • Excessive alcohol or drug use
  • Excess weight/obesity
  • A significant loss of body fat due to intense exercise
  • High levels of stress
