Female Infertility
Female infertility is sometimes attributed to the shape of uterus being an inhospitable place for an egg to implant. Anovulation is a condition where the female doesnt release eggs from the ovary. This is usually caused by polycystic ovary disease. If the fallopian tubes cannot carry the eggs to the uterus because of endometriosis, some women may not be able to get pregnant.
