According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Infertility affects about 10-15% of couples in the world. We understand how it must feel, and want you to know that you're not alone in this.

No, infertility is common in both men and women. Each makes up approximately 1/3 of the reasons why infertility happens, and unexplained infertility is responsible for the 1/3 explanation.

Infertility is diagnosed if a couple under 35 years old has been having regular, unprotected sex for over a year without achieving a successful pregnancy. For couples over 35 years old, it's as if they've been having regular, unprotected sex for 6 months without achieving a successful pregnancy.

According to research done by Oxford Academics, approximately 56.1% of couples seek infertility treatments in developed countries, and 51.2% seek infertility treatments in less developed countries.

They can undoubtedly come down to a big number, but your doctor will always be transparent about costs during your initial consultation according to your needs and priorities. There are also financing options available to help you in your fertility journey.

Several factors could affect your fertility, whether it's genetics, lifestyle issues, or underlying problems on both sides. You could also do a series of tests and evaluations to better understand your fertility.
