Common Signs of Infertility in Women 1. Irregular periods The average woman’s cycle is 28 days long. But anything within a few days of that can be considered normal, as long as those cycles are consistent. For example, a woman who has a 33-day cycle one month, a 31-day cycle the next, and a 35-day cycle after that, is probably having “normal” periods. But a woman whose cycles vary so greatly that she can’t even begin to estimate when her period might arrive is experiencing irregular periods. This can be related to hormone issues, or to polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Both of these can contribute to infertility. 2. Painful or heavy periods Most women experience cramps with their periods. But painful periods that interfere with your daily life may be a symptom of endometriosis. 3. No periods It’s not uncommon for women to have an off month here and there. Factors like stress or heavy workouts can cause your period to temporarily disappear. But if you haven’t had a period in months, it’s time to get your fertility checked. 4. Symptoms of hormone fluctuations Signs of hormone fluctuations in women could indicate potential issues with fertility. Talk to your doctor if you experience the following: skin issues reduced sex drive facial hair growth thinning hair weight gain 5. Pain during sex Some women have experienced painful sex their entire lives, so they’ve convinced themselves it’s normal. But it’s not. It could be related to hormone issues, to endometriosis, or to other underlying conditions that could also be contributing to infertility.
