What is infertility? When should I consult a fertility clinic?
Infertility is no conception after a period of 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse with the same partner. It is estimated that about 1/5 or 1/6 of couples that are of reproductive age are affected by infertility. Again, the age of the woman is one of the most determinant factors regarding success rate to conceive a child. It is recommended that women of 35 years of age or older are referred to the fertility Clinic after 6 months of unsuccessful unprotected intercourse, and for women of 38 years of age or older to be referred as soon as possible.
