Infertility is a medical condition that results when you, your partner or both of you have physical conditions that interfere with the reproductive process. It's comforting to know that you're not alone - almost 1 in 8 couples (approximately 2.1 million couples) in the United States are infertile.
Fortunately, the majority of infertile cases are treatable. Many couples use conventional medical therapies such as fertility medication or surgery, although newer techniques, such as ovarian stimulation (which uses fertility drugs), followed by in vitro fertilization (IVF) performed in an IVF clinic can increase your chances of success dramatically.
There is a lot of information to process and it probably won't happen all at once. In this section, we will give you a solid foundation of fertility basics, from understanding the reproductive process to learning what factors affect your fertility.
