What Is Infertility
What is infertility?
Healthcare providers consider a couple infertile if they try but fail to get pregnant within one year. When the woman is older than 35, the amount of time trying to conceive drops to six months for an infertility diagnosis. In women over 40, immediate evaluation is warranted. Infertility does not include miscarrying or being unable to carry a baby to childbirth.
What are the types of infertility?
Types of infertility include:
- Primary: A woman who was never pregnant and who can’t conceive after one year of not using birth control.
- Secondary: Secondary infertility occurs when a woman can’t get pregnant again after having at least one successful pregnancy.
