Fertility Treatment

If you have been trying to get pregnant for at least one year with no success, you may need to be treated for infertility. According to the CDC, about 6 percent of married women in the U.S. ages 15 to 44 are unable to get pregnant after one year of trying, and about 12 percent of women in the U.S. ages 15 to 44 have difficulty getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to term. If you are one of these women, you should consider seeking treatment from a reproductive specialist.
