If you watch movies or television, you’ve seen couples blissfully getting pregnant the first time they try—or sometimes even without trying! The reality, however, is that very few couples are able to conceive the first time they try, and it takes many couples more than a year.
About 15 percent of couples in the United States are infertile; that is, they have not conceived after a year of having regular sexual intercourse without using birth control. Infertility can be incredibly difficult for couples to navigate; that’s why the caring staff at Wendover OB/GYN and Infertility is specially trained to answer your questions, evaluate potential factors contributing to infertility, and create a treatment plan.
