By Karol Cardinson

Infertility in couples is considered to be when one or both parties cannot contribute to the pregnancy. When women are unable to carry a pregnancy to the final trimester it can also be considered infertility. There is help available for couples who are experiencing infertility and ways for you to get pregnant. Infertile women do not have their periods consecutively and ovulation is sporadic where women who are fertile have consecutive periods and ovulate regularly before and after each period. The sign of infertility in couples is when the couple is unable to get pregnant even after a year or even years of intercourse without the use of birth control.

Couples that have never been able to get pregnant are considered to have primary infertility and couples that have experienced a successful pregnancy but are no longer able to become pregnant is considered to have secondary infertility. Throughout the world one out of every seven couples have problems with infertility. As women get older the chance of becoming pregnant will decrease. The number of Americans that experience infertility is close to six million. The percentage of women having infertility problems in a couple is about fifty percent. The percentage of men that have infertility problems in a couple is about forty percent. Some of the most common problems with infertility are age, problems ovulating, blockage, uterian problems, tubal ligation, and TB.

Most couples will seek medical help if they have been unable to conceive after a long period of time. An infertility specialist will be consulted and he will run tests on both parties in the couple and determine the causes or reasons behind the infertility. Both people in the couple will be asked questions about sexual activity and how they believe intercourse is done. At this point if the specialist is unable to determine what is causing the problem he will order more tests to be done. He will test the woman's temp, how she ovulates, take x-rays of the tubes and the uterus, and he will perform and laparoscopy. He will test the man's semen count and analyze the sperm.

Statistically ninety percent of couples who deal with infertility will receive a conventional method such as drug therapy and surgery to be able to become pregnant while the other ten percent will need difficult surgeries such as IVF to get pregnant. Twenty percent of couples who have used a specialist become pregnant without even being treated for infertility. This is because of the stress they were under when they were trying to become pregnant and not being able to and when they visited the specialist all the stress was relieved. Statistics show that most couples will get pregnant within two years. There is several reasons why a couple will experience infertility including the use of tobacco, alcohol, drugs, dangers in the environment, medicines, cancer treatment, health concerns, and physical and emotional problems.
