Is it possible for fertility problems to be hereditary?

Or is it just hit and miss--affects some people different from others? Personal stories would be very helpful. If you are having trouble trying to conceive, did your mother or grandmother or anyone in your family ever have similar troubles? Thanks. I just made my appointment to try to figure it out but I'm so nervous. I don't know what they do the first visit, but It's an hour away one way so I hope that they do more than just talk.
