AB Infertility  is  defined  as  the  inability  of  the  couple  to  achieve  a  successful  pregnancy  after  12  months  of  unprotected  intercourse  if  the  woman  is  under  age  35,  or  after  6  months  of  unprotected  intercourse  if  a  female  partner  is  greater  than  35  years  old.  Infertility  affects  close  to  15%  of  all  couples  trying  to  conceive  a  pregnancy.  In  20%  to  30%  of  such  couples,  infertility  can  be  clearly  identified  as  due  to  female  causes,  and  in  20%  to  30%  of  cases  infertility  can  be  clearly  attributed  to  male-factor  problems.  The  remaining  cases  are  classified  as  “unexplained,”  where  no  specific  abnormalities  can  be  identified  in  either  of  the  partners.
