What is infertility ?

Infertility is the unability for a couple to have a child after one year of unprotected sexual rapport.
For women, this means that they cannot conceive, while for men this consists in an unability to impregnate.


What is the difference between infertility and sterility?

Infertility is biologically the inability for a man or a female to produce gametes while sterility is the total incapacity to produce naturally. In medical usage, sterility usually refers to inability to produce a live child, while infertility is measured by failure to conceive after 1 year without contraception.
