Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive. For women with male partners, this is after one year of unprotected sex when under age 35 and after six months for women 35 and older. For women in same-sex partnerships, infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of donor inseminations when under age 35 and after six months of inseminations for women 35 and older. From 12% to 15% of couples have trouble getting pregnant.
“The majority of people will become pregnant within the first 12 months of trying to conceive with regular unprotected intercourse,” says Cross. “After six months to a year of trying — depending on a woman’s age — we recommend that a couple comes in for an infertility evaluation. At that point, it’s more likely that there’s a problem preventing pregnancy. And if you’re a woman over 40 trying to conceive, we always suggest a consultation with a reproductive specialist.”
