The American Society for Reproductive Medicine defines infertility as a disease, condition, or status characterized by any of the following: The inability to achieve a successful pregnancy based on a patient’s medical, sexual, and reproductive history, age, physical findings, diagnostic testing, or any combination of those factors. The need for medical intervention, including, but not limited to, the use of donor gametes or donor embryos in order to achieve a successful pregnancy either as an individual or with a partner. In patients having regular, unprotected intercourse and without any known etiology for either partner suggestive of impaired reproductive ability, evaluation should be initiated at 12 months when the female partner is under 35 years of age and at 6 months when the female partner is 35 years of age or older.

Infertility can have various causes in both the male and female reproductive systems, some of which may remain unexplained. These issues can be with you or your partner, or a combination of things. In females, factors can include tubal disorders, uterine issues, ovarian disorders, and hormonal imbalances. In males, potential causes involve reproductive tract obstructions, hormonal disorders, testicular failure, and sperm quality issues.
