- Your fertility age is at the right stage: AGE makes a lot of difference when it comes to egg quality and that includes your chances of conception. In case, you have just one fallopian tube and you are trying to conceive at the age of 40, then it is possible to experience problems. In case you are 35 with one properly functioning tube, then it is ideal that you talk to the doctor to understand what can improve your chances of conception.
- You ovulate like normal: Normally, the menstrual cycle comes for around 21 to 35 days which means ovulation is regular. In case of irregular periods, it is possible that there is a certain issue and you have to schedule an appointment with the OB/GYN. You should talk to the gynae to understand what is the ideal way to keep track of your fertile window and ovulation.
- Your one fallopian tube is healthy enough to do the work: No worries! Even if one tube is not healthy as long as the other tube is working with ease. To ensure the same, you have to get yourself tested to make sure that your fallopian tube is working properly. The sperm and egg need to have the proper pathway so that they can travel to the desired destination with ease and your chances of conception are possible.

It is important that your health is okay or you are not diagnosed with any problem of infertility. If that is the case, then there will be an issue with conception.
