In 10% of cases no cause can be found. In the remaining 50% of cases something about the way the woman's body functions prevents pregnancy from occurring. </div> <bR> <div> There can be many reasons why a woman has difficulty becoming pregnant. If she is underweight or obese, had a recent weight loss or has a poor diet she may find it difficult to conceive. Other causes of infertility include hormonal imbalance, pelvic inflammatory disease and chlamydia, which is often undiagnosed. </div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="544" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=2 HEIGHT= 20 WIDTH="538"><div> <B>What Can Help</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 39 WIDTH="2"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="39" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="2" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="535"><div> <B>Start eating a healthy, well balanced diet.
