When Should You Worry About Infertility?

For most couples attempting to become pregnant, the chance of achieving a successful pregnancy is about 25% during the first month of trying. By the end of the first year of trying to conceive, about 85%-90% of couples will conceive.

As a couple, you should seek medical help if you are unable to achieve pregnancy after 1 year of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. If you’re a woman with a history of pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, miscarriage, or irregular or painful menstrual cycles, you should also consult with your doctor.

Common Causes of Infertility

Some of the most common conditions that can contribute to infertility are:

• Abnormal Ovulation
• Blocked fallopian tubes
• Endometriosis
• Cervical problems
• Age
• Male factors (male infertility, central nervous system problems, pituitary tumors)
