Should we be concerned?

Couples assume that they are fertile and spend most of their lives using contraception to avoid an unplanned pregnancy.

Then, when a couple is ready to start their family, they are surprised if they have difficulty conceiving.  This common problem affects one out of six couples.

What is Infertility?

• If you have not conceived after twelve months of having sex without using contraception, you have infertility.
• If you are a woman who is thirty-five years old or older, after six months of unprotected sex without conceiving, you are infertile.
• If you are you getting pregnant spontaneously, but have had two or more miscarriages, you should seek fertility evaluation.  
• If you have reason to believe that you will have difficulty conceiving (e.g., diagnosis of endometriosis, prior chemotherapy treatment) you should be screened for infertility, too.
