Trouble getting pregnant 
When you get old, you need to face certain difficulties during 
or before pregnancy, and it is otherwise known as fertility 
problems. 
Each woman in this world is born with a set of a number of 
eggs, and when you ovulate, you realize an egg each time, 
and it continues about 14 days before you get your period. 
So as you get older, your egg amount gets decreased slowly, 
and the leftover eggs also cannot be easily fertilized by a 
man’s sperm. And it makes it difficult for you to get pregnant. 
If you’re older than 30 and trying for 5 to 6 months to get 
pregnant, you have to mention this to your fertility doctor. He 
will recommend the perfect fertility treatments that can help 
you get pregnant.
