Fertility
The last thing that most people think about when they become an adult is whether they can have children, but it is a reality for many. 1 in 6 couples have trouble having a baby. So much emphasis is placed on delaying children until you’re ready. But what happens when children don’t come so easily?

There are multiple factors at play in fertility. If conception doesn’t occur within 12 months of actively trying to have a child, a couple is labeled infertile. This happens in 6 months if the woman is 35 years of age or older. There are three main sources of infertility.
