- Intrauterine septa and nodes.
- Congenital chromosomal abnormalities causing every pregnancy to end in miscarriage.
- Even seemingly ordinary depression can lead to difficulties in conceiving a child. The fact is that stress and nervous disorders negatively affect the hormonal background of a woman.

For example, you can brew sage in a thermos, where it will fully show all its beneficial properties. Due to the fact that the temperature in the thermos is maintained at a sufficiently high level for a long time, the maximum number of components goes into a decoction. In addition, a thermos is very convenient to take with you to work or study. In such cases, it is not necessary to brew a new decoction or heat an existing one. As a rule, five tablespoons of sage are taken per half-liter thermos.
