Infertility

Infertility may be main or minor. Main infertility is when no pregnancy has ever happened. Minor infertility is when there have been one or more pregnancies but a additional pregnancy has proved unfeasible. It has been predictable that the chances of beginning for a given couple having regular sexual intercourse without any contraception are 80% and 90% after 12 months and 18 months correspondingly. It is therefore usual to begin investigations after 1 year. At this time some troubles may be exposed and it should be possible, the essential tests having been done, to offer a realistic prognosis and a possible healing outline. It is significant to find out if there are any obvious abnormalities because with the new methods of treatment that has become obtainable over the last 20 years it is frequently possible to offer real hope of achievement.
