Maybe: There is a slightly increased risk for infertility in sisters, since they share dna, and have similar patterns of ovulation, uterine health, endometriosis and egg numbers. Don't assume there is a problem, but seek help if you have problems conceiving. Consult with a specialist in reproductive endocrinology and infertility.
