Conception and Infertility Problems

There are over 2.1 million married couples in the U.S. who deal with infertility issues. Other women have sought fertility treatments, even though they might not have been labeled infertile. With so many women waiting until their 30's and 40's to begin their families, infertility is becoming a more prevalent issue. In about one third of infertile cases, the cause is unknown. The other two-thirds are typically split between male and female problems. If you are having problems with conception, contact your ob-gyn. He or she may want to refer you to a fertility specialist for further testing.
