A member asked:
Is there even a small chance that a very tiny polyp on cervix is causing an infertility?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
If infected, yes: An infected and necrotic cervical polyp will prevent sperm from reaching the intrauterine cavity by inducing inflammatory cells( white blood cells) that can "ingest" the sperm. Moreover, those same cells will enter the uterus and prevent implantation in severely infected cases. Polyp removal is relatively simple and should be considered if pregnancy has been an issue.

Fertility specialist: Studies show that female issues related to infertility start with the ability of the cervix to allow entry of sperm to enter &fertilized the egg implants in the uterus. Uterus, fallopian tube, ovarian (eggs) and medical issues like anemia, hypothyroidism, nutrition etc. There are male causes too get your husband checked. I'm so sorry you are having an issue, but don't worry, there is help.
