Infertility
Infertility is
different for each couple that faces it. During the last decade, health
care providers have made great strides in the ability to diagnose
and treat infertility and today there are more ways to build your
family than ever before. The most important thing you can do is to
be an informed consumer.
What is infertility?
Infertility
means not being able to get pregnant after one year of trying. Or,
six months, if a woman is 35 or older. Women who can get pregnant
but are unable to stay pregnant may also be infertile.
Is
infertility a common problem?
Yes. About 10 percent of women (6.1 million) in the United States
ages 15-44 have difficulty getting pregnant or staying pregnant, according
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
