Many people plan their families carefully, waiting until the time is just right to try for a baby. Most couples assume that once they stop using contraception, pregnancy will happen quickly – but that just isn’t always the case. To women and couples who are having problems conceiving, it can feel like failure and seem that they’re alone in experiencing these difficulties in getting pregnant. But t
he reality is that this happens much more often than people realise. At some point in their lives, at least 1 in 6 couples will experience some degree of infertility. Traditionally, infertility has been defined as “the inability of couples to achieve conception after a year of unprotected in*******se, or the inability to carry a pregnancy to term.”
