San Diego, May 18: Researchers have achieved a major breakthrough in identifying the enzymes involved in ovarian function and female fertility. These findings will help in knowing the reasons for infertility in women and its treatment thereafter, say the researchers.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
