The relationship between blood type and infertility is a topic that has been explored in some studies, but the evidence is not definitive. There are a few areas where blood type might have an indirect impact on fertility, though it's important to remember that infertility is a complex issue influenced by many factors, such as age, hormone levels, genetics, lifestyle, and health conditions.
