I am unable to conceive for a whole year

A couple may be diagnosed with infertility only after 12 months of active sex life without contraception. If pregnancy does not occur within a year, do not despair. Normally, you will have to start by undergoing some examinations and tests to determine the cause and start treatment, if necessary. The sooner the cause of infertility is determined, the higher are your chances of conceiving and bearing a healthy child.
