Many women need special medical treatment to help them get pregnant. This kind of treatment is called fertility treatment.
Infertility is when you’re not able to get pregnant (conceive) after one year (or longer) of having unprotected sex. For many couples without infertility, this may happen when:
• A woman’s body releases an egg from one of her ovaries (also called ovulation)
• A man’s sperm joins the egg along the way (also called fertilize)
• The fertilized egg travels through the fallopian tube toward the uterus (womb)
• The fertilized egg attaches to the inside of the uterus (implantation)
