Infertility
If you 're having difficulty getting pregnant it doesn't necessarily mean you're infertile. Infertility means different things to different people; it certainly means something different to doctors and to couples. Most couples who think they are infertile are only subfertile, and with help do manage to conceive successfully.
Fertility problems
Very few couples expect to have fertility problems and it can come as a shock that conception does not happen easily. That being said, fertility problems are quite common, in varying degrees, and sometimes a little help and advice is all that is needed to reach the goal of conceiving.
