Why Infertility Testing is Important
Infertility can be caused by male factors, female factors, or a combination of both. Early testing improves the chances of successful conception and prevents unnecessary delays in treatment.
Fertility evaluation is generally advised if pregnancy has not occurred after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse (or 6 months if the woman is above 35 years).
