A member asked:

Why is it so hard for me and my partner to conceive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There can be: many factors. Your age of 41 is one major factor. Just based on age, you chance of pregnancy per month is less than 5%. You should see a fertility specialist as soon as possible before all your eggs are gone. Massachusetts has good fertility insurance coverage, by the way.
