Infertility when you have previous children

It is often beyond the logic of some patients with previous children that they are now facing infertility problems. However, it is possible to have achieved a pregnancy and subsequently have difficulties in achieving a new pregnancy.

This situation is called secondary infertility and, although it may have other causes, it is often related to the woman's age. This is because age has a negative effect on female fertility, due to the decrease in the quality and quantity of eggs over time. Thus, a woman with previous children may find it difficult to become pregnant if she has reached an advanced maternal age.
