When do we talk about infertility? iStock / Chinnapong

By: Caroline Paré Follow

We talk about infertility in a couple in the absence of pregnancy after 1 to 2 years of regular sexual intercourse. In France, for example, 1 in 8 couples consult because of difficulties in conceiving a child and medical care can resolve certain cases of infertility. However, this recourse is largely dependent on the health context and the conditions of access to care.
