According to the National Library of Medicine (NLM), healthy couples under age 30 have a 25 to 30 percent chance of becoming pregnant every month, as long as they are having regular sex. Primary infertility describes couples who have unsuccessfully conceived after at least one year of unprotected sex. Some couples may have achieved pregnancy at least once but could not thereafter — a condition known as secondary infertility. Women who can become pregnant but are unable to carry the child until birth may also be infertile. A number of factors can contribute to infertility, and the causes may vary between men and women. While infertility happens for a great number of reasons, a combination of medical intervention and lifestyle changes may lead to a successful pregnancy.
