Ive been thinking about it for some time but I think having a hard time conceiving runs in the family. My mother, 2 of her sisters and both my sister and I are having problems getting pregnant. In my mother and her sisters they all married young, so age was not a factor for them. My sister married young too. I married at 30 and we are TTC for 5 years.

Could genetics be a factor in my case?

Wow... I never thought of this. My family is notorious for marrying late. Even my brothers married in their early to mid thirties and I married at 32.

We are TTC for 5 years. My brothers are OK because they married women in their late 20's and had kids right away.

IMO, it could be the genetic and age factor...

For some, it's really because of genetic factors but their are also others who really have problems with their infertility. For you to know the real truth about your condition, better have it check with your doctor.

Yap! Having infertility problems really runs in the family. But it also depending on how you handle it. If you don't do such thing to avoid it..then it will really comes out on you to. But if you find ways to treat it as early as possible..then probably, you will never suffer the same problems as your other siblings or relatives have.

Yap! Prevention is always better than a cure..LOL!

I dont think its a genetic thing. Perhaps your family just likes to wait for the right time to have kids. I married young but we waited almost 10 years to have kids because we could not afford them.

I dont think so. perhaps you all just married late. Age is always a big factor during infertility so I think that's it. Remember that fertility declines with age.

No,I beg to disagree. Age is not the factor for them as I understand it,you are the only one who married late..but, 30 is still consider a young age to get married. I think it's really a genetic factor on your part.

For you to make sure if it really runs on your blood or just based on some genetic factor, better have proper physical test for you to know what factor contributes your infertility problem.

I married in my late 20's and then we waited because we wanted to be financially secure first before having kids. I think it's age rather than genetics. And i dont think infertility is genetic.

I don't really believe that such issue of infertility is because of genetics. There's no such thing as genetic factor in infertility. I think there are other reason behind it..it's just a coincidence in mostly member of your family getting to conceive.
