Infertility involves a disease or condition of the reproductive system which inhibits the couple's ability to conceive after a year of unprotected intercourse (six months for women over age 35), or to carry a pregnancy to term.

A number of factors may cause the condition, with over half of all couples having more than one cause. It is equally likely that it is a male cause as it is a female cause, approximately 35 percent each. It is due to a combined problem in 20 percent of infertility cases, and unexplained in 10 percent.

To obtain an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your infertility, your personal Conceptions specialist will conduct an extensive evaluation of your past and present fertility status. Once your diagnosis has been established, you and your physician will then decide upon the course of treatment that's right for you.
