Approximately 15% of couples experience infertility at some time during their reproductive lives and this percentage increases as the female ages. The American Society of Reproductive Medicine defines infertility as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse in women less than thirty-five years of age and six months in women over thirty-five. Eighty five percent of sub fertile couples will become pregnant with appropriate care delivered by a reproductive endocrinologist... It was once believed that infertility was a "female" problem but it is now known that male factor is present in approximately 47% of cases. Therefore, it is extremely important to thoroughly evaluate the male prior to beginning therapy on the female.
