Typically, infertility is a condition that is diagnosed after a year or more of trying to conceive. However, if you are older than 35 and have been trying to conceive for at least 6 months, it is recommended that you seek infertility treatment then.
No. Infertility is the inability to get pregnant after a year or more of trying. It does not mean you can never conceive. Being sterile means that a woman has no ovaries, no uterus, or no egg production, or that a man is not producing sperm.
Infertility is not rare. It is estimated that 10 – 15 percent of couples in the United States are infertile. If you and your spouse or partner are infertile, know that you are far from alone and that there are several customized treatments we can offer at New Life Health in Greenville, SC to help you have a great chance of conceiving.
