Infertility is when a couple cannot get pregnant (conceive) despite having regular unprotected sex.
Around 1 in 7 couples may have difficulty conceiving.
About 84% of couples will conceive naturally within 1 year if they have regular unprotected sex (every 2 or 3 days).
Please book a GP consultation or send in an eConsult if you want to discuss this in more detail. It is often helpful to book a double appointment and for both members of the couple to attend.
