"Dear Friends, I wanted to make you aware of this excerpt from an article profiling a patient of ours that was printed on Mother's Day in the Orange County Register."
"You want the path to motherhood paved with anticipation, excitement, and joy. But road blocks to conceiving can be overwhelming, confusing, and challenging for loving relationships."
Infertility is a very common problem, causing one in seven couples to experience difficulty conceiving. The condition is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse in women under the age of 35, and the inability to conceive after six months in women over the age of 35.
Because nearly one in six couples experience problems conceiving within a year of trying, more attention is being paid to fertility issues. Some experts are even calling this a modern “infertility epidemic.” By understanding the potential causes of infertility and the available solutions, more couples can take control of their conception plans.
