Infertility
Most infertility experts agree that infertility is the appropriate diagnosis when pregnancy has not occurred after a full year of unprotected intercourse. Many couples turn to the woman’s obstetrician/gynecologist for answers regarding their problem and are then referred to a fertility specialist when appropriate. Other couples who suspect a problem sometimes self-refer to a fertility expert.
Causes of Infertility
In general, 50 percent of couples having difficulty conceiving have factors involving the female partner, another 35 percent involve the male partner, and the remaining 15 percent have both male and female factors that together prevent conception.
