There is a small window each month during which a woman can become pregnant, which is called the “fertile window”. It corresponds to the three days leading up to ovulation (this easy-to-use fertility calendar app will tell you your fertile window right now). Time sex to this fertile window, because this is the best time to get pregnant.
Having sex at other times of the month will not help or harm your chances of becoming pregnant, but is much less likely to result in pregnancy. Learn more about the best time to get pregnant by downloading our free e-book on maximizing your fertility.
For women under the age of 35, infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse (for those women over 35 years of age, it is six months). If you have been trying for 6 months to a year, you should contact either your gynecologist or contact a qualified fertility specialist to setup a fertility evaluation. Use this infographic to choose the right fertility clinic for you.
Couples who suspect that there is a reason for their inability to conceive should seek out help right away. Reasons for seeking help earlier may include: endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, male factor infertility, irregular cycles and known fallopian tube scarring or blockage. Learn more from our free e-book on steps to take if you're having trouble getting pregnant.

No. Infertility affects about one in eight couples. There are many causes of infertility. Approximately 35% of the time, the cause of the infertility will be related to the female. In another 35% of cases, the infertility will be related to the male. In 20% of couples, there will be a combined problem. Finally, 10% of infertility is "unexplained." This means we do not understand the cause, not that there is no cause.
Unexplained infertility can often be successfully treated. In fact, treatments for unexplained infertility are frequently as effective as treatments in couples where the cause of the infertility is known.
We publish InVia Fertility's success rates here. When reviewing success rates and comparing infertility treatment centers, it is important to look at the live birth rate, not just the pregnancy rate.

In Illinois, infertility coverage is mandated for certain companies. This means that your employer may be offered the option of purchasing infertility coverage for you as part of your health insurance policy.
It is a good idea to contact your insurance company or employer directly to inquire about the specifics of your insurance benefits. Couples are often pleasantly surprised to find out how much of their infertility services are covered by their insurance.
