Abstract

About 15% of couples cannot conceive offspring. In the absence of proven inability to conceive (sterility) or the absence of demonstrated infertility of the male partner, women are considered infertile if they cannot conceive within 1 year despite unprotected coitus. Women who have never conceived are said to have primary infertility; those who have conceived in the past but appear no longer to be able to do so are considered to have secondary infertility. Women who conceive but who have repetitive spontaneous abortions are not considered infertile but rather to be habitual aborters, defined in various studies as women having two or three consecutive spontaneous abortions without a live birth.
