WHAT IS INFERTILITY?

In general terms, a woman is considered “infertile” if she has been sexually active monthly for more than a year without achieving pregnancy. “Infertility issues” refer to the inability to achieve conception, achieve a viable pregnancy after conception or maintain a developing pregnancy. So much focus is on the ability to conceive, but the term “infertility” pertains to everything from a woman’s ability to ovulate, conceive and maintain a pregnancy.
