10 Symptoms of Infertility

7. Painful Intercourse

When a woman experiences painful intercourse, it can be a sign of other issues, including decreased fertility. Endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and PCOS can all cause painful sex and problems with achieving pregnancy. Additionally, when sex is extremely painful, women may be reluctant to have sex as frequently as needed to get pregnant. While it is true that it only takes one time to get pregnant, many couples have to have sex several times a month for several months to be successful. The more you have sex, the higher your chances.
