If both you and your partner are having trouble conceiving, you are not alone. The Indian Society for Assisted Reproduction estimates that between 10% and 14% of Indians struggle with infertility. Infertility can be caused by a problem with you or your partner, or by a confluence of things that lead to infertility. The good news is that there are a lot of safe and effective treatments that can significantly raise your chances of getting pregnant.
The primary symptom of infertility is the inability to conceive. Other typical symptoms may not exist. Menstrual cycles in infertile women may be irregular or nonexistent. Most couples will eventually become pregnant, whether they receive treatment or not. Unless you’ve been trying to conceive regularly for at least a year, you may not need to see your doctor about infertility.
