Questions on fertility

Am I infertile? When does one speak of infertility?

The desire to have an own child is a fixed part of being human, and when it doesn't 'work', we need one thing above all else: helpful information and enlightenment. The second thing we need is good foundations for solutions.
One can speak of infertility if, after a year of constant trying, there is no pregnancy. This definition is also shared by the WHO (World Health Organisation), which in this way covers the altered living conditions in the industrialised Western nations, i. e. taking into account the higher mobility of the partners.

The causes of infertility can be varied between men and women, in 20%-30% of cases they are usually on the woman's side, in up to 50% of cases on the man's side, and in the remaining 20% of cases the causes can be attributed to both the male and female partner. In 10%-15% of all pairs the reason for no children being born cannot be clarified. Thus sterilisation treatment is thus always a pair treatment.
