According to the National Institute for health and Care Excellence (Nice), one in seven heterosexual couples will experience infertility – defined as failing to conceive within a year, despite having unprotected sex every two to three days. Although prevalence is not thought to be changing, increasing numbers of these couples are seeking medical help.
The reason for a couple not falling pregnant is not identified in around a quarter of cases, despite the myriad of tests that both partners undergo. However, in more than half of cases the issue lies with the woman, with the main causes being ovulatory disorders, tubal damage, and uterine, cervical or peritoneal issues.
