When one of your ovaries produces fewer eggs that are more difficult to fertilize, this is known as diminishing ovarian reserve. This has an impact on your overall fertility and ability to conceive.

Technically, pregnancy is possible only between a few days before and after ovulation. That comes down to between day 10 to day 18 of the menstrual cycle for most women. In women with long cycles the window is wider and vice versa for women with short cycles.

If you are less than 35 and you have been trying unsuccessfully for more than a year, it is best to seek an opinion of a fertility expert.
