The problem could also be from sperm that is not formed correctly or they die before they can get to the egg to fertilize it. A disorder that is genetic, in nature, can also be a problem.

Women need to have healthy eggs and fallopian tubes that are free of blockages to allow the sperm to flow through correctly. Women can also suffer from ovulation disorder. Correct cycles of ovulation are necessary for the healthy eggs to drop into place for the sperm to fertilize. Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the more known problems in women.
