The study, which was carried out by researchers from Bispebjerg University Hospital in Denmark, found that the condition could have a more serious impact on conception the older the woman is. The experts said this could be because the generalised inflammation of the body caused by asthma may make it hard for a fertilised egg to implant in the womb at the start of pregnancy.
For the study, which has been published in the European Respiratory Journal, researchers looked at questionnaires completed by 15,000 twins. Of the 955 women who suffered from asthma, 27% were said to have taken a "prolonged" time to get pregnant, compared to 21% of those who did not have asthma.
In addition, the risk of a delay in conceiving significantly increased in women with untreated asthma by rising to 30% compared with 24% who were receiving treatment.
The researchers found a trend toward greater fertility problems among older women, most likely because they had been coping with systemic – whole body – inflammation for longer.
For women above the age of 30, one in three were found to have a long waiting time to pregnancy, with one in four women waiting under the age of 30.
Elisabeth Juul Gade, lead author of the study, said: "Although we observed women with asthma experiencing longer waiting times to pregnancy, our findings suggest that if women take their medication and control their asthma, they can reduce this delay.
"Our overall results suggest that women with asthma had the same number of children, which is due to the fact that they tend to conceive at an earlier age compared to those without, getting a head start on their reproductive life."

Women With Asthma Take Longer To Start A Family
New research has suggested that women who suffer from asthma, take longer to start a family.The study, which was carried out by researchers from Bispebjerg University Hospital in Denmark, found that the condition could have a more serious impact on conception the older the woman is.
