We speak of couple infertility when there is no pregnancy after one year of regular sexual intercourse (i.e. several times a week).

If a couple consults a gynecologist after a year of unsuccessful attempts, investigations will be proposed in an attempt to identify a cause.

Women's fertility decreases significantly beyond the age of 35. It is therefore important that investigations are undertaken more quickly in couples where the woman is over 35 years of age (after only 6 months of unsuccessful attempts). Naturally, if there is a medical background concerning reproductive functions or reproductive organs, it is advisable to investigate more quickly.

About one out of ten couples has a fertility problem. The causes affect both partners equally frequently, which is why it is important that both partners participate in the medical consultation.
