Fertility indicates your ability to conceive children. A woman’s peak reproductive years are between late teens and late 20s.
Fertility will usually start to decline in your 30’s.
Factors that may contribute to infertility include age, smoking, stress, certain medical issues, obesity, alcohol and drug use.
With that said, what are some of the more clear signs that you are in fact fertile and ready to get pregnant?
Many women who cannot get pregnant or who may experience repeated miscarriage often suffer from a luteal phase defect, which simply means that the luteal phase of their cycle (the time between ovulation and their menstrual flow) is too short to develop a thick enough uterine lining to support a fertilized egg.
This can either result in an inability for the fertilized egg to implant in the first place, or an inability to thrive, thus resulting in a very early miscarriage. Some women actually miscarry every month without realizing it believing that they are simply having a regular period.

Can I get pregnant if I have high prolactin levels?
Prolactin is a hormone that helps women to produce milk after the birth of a baby. When levels are high, ovulation is hindered; that is why many nursing mothers do not get a period while their babies are nursing at peak capacity.
Reducing estrogen levels in women and progesterone levels in men, prolactin can have a serious effect on both male and female fertility, causing a loss of ovulation in the female and a poor production of sperm in males.
Eating the right kind of foods and reducing stress can obviously have a huge impact on sperm quality and production.
But did you know for example that stress during lovemaking can result in much less sperm in the semen upon ejaculation?

Avoid These Activities 24 Hours Prior to Ovulation and Until Your Period Begins
Post-Ovulation, can either be a time of rest for your body (if you are not pregnant) or a time of work (if you are pregnant).
Your body has to be ready for either scenario, and this requires taking extra precautions in all areas of your life to ensure that if conception has occurred, you are giving that embryo every chance to implant and survive.
American couples spend more than $2 billion a year on fertility treatments, according to recent reports. Yet, more than half of them still fail to conceive.
With dozens of high-tech procedures at our disposal, you’d think that anyone – and everyone – who wanted to get pregnant could – and would. Still, many do not. Why?
