Infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant after 1 year of unportected sex. Approximately 10% of couples suffer from this. Before being treated, you and your partner need to be evaluated by your doctor. Your doctor may ask questions about your health history, perform a physical exam, discuss intercourse timing, ovulation, lifestyle behaviors, medication use, and other symptoms. You may require further consultation with a specialist. Talk to your health care provider about what is right for you. For more information, you can visit the following websites:
