Infertility
Infertility has been defined as the inability of a couple to conceive after one year of regular intercourse without the use of contraceptives. The definition has also come to include couples who are able to conceive but, due to repeated miscarriages, are unable to carry a pregnancy to term.
Reproductive endocrinologists, the doctors specializing in infertility, consider a couple to be infertile if:
The couple has not conceived after 12 months of contraceptive-free intercourse if the female is under the age of 34
the couple has not conceived after 6 months of contraceptive-free intercourse if the female is over the age of 35 (declining egg quality of females over the age of 35 account for the age-based discrepancy as when to seek medical intervention)
The female is incapable of carrying a pregnancy to term.
