What factors causes female infertility?

Female factor infertility can have many reasons. Most women are not aware of the fact that they are unable to naturally reproduce until they actually try to become pregnant. The most common reason for infertility with women is a tubal blockage which can be the effect of an infection.
The egg needs to travel through the tubes to reach the uterus, but if there is a blockage this is being prevented.
Other potential factors are:
Infectious diseases such as STDs
Genetically causes diseases
Medication, such as Chemotherapy or medication preventing infections
Ovulation problems
Age
Problems with such as the Hypothalamus, Thyroids or reproductive organs. If there are problems occurring with these systems, the ovaries are not able to produce enough Progesterone which prepare the uterine lining for a pregnancy.
Early Menopause
In this case a pregnancy can still be achieved through IVF or egg donation
Endometriosis
Bad habits such as smoking, bad diet or overweight
