What is infertility
Many experts clearly define infertility as not to be able to get pregnant after one or more year or so of attempting. Infertility can also refer to the biological inability of an individual to contribute to conception, or to a female who cannot carry a pregnancy to full term. In many countries infertility refers to a couple that has failed to conceive after 12 months of regular sexual intercourse without the use of contraception.
Many cases of apparent infertility are treatable. Infertility may have a single cause in one of the partners, or it could be the result of a combination of factors. If you and your partner are experiencing any difficulty in starting your family, the first step is simply to contact a physician who is knowledgeable about infertility. Some physicians have special expertise in this area because they have two or three years of fellowship training after completing four years of obstetrics and gynecology residency- these physicians are called Reproductive Endocrinologists (RE) or fertility physicians.
