Inability to conceive is often referred to as infertility, but most people mistake infertility for impotence.
The inability to become pregnant is not the sole determinant of infertility.

In another one third it is due to the male factor and in the remaining one third of the cases, it is due to both male and female factors mixed together.
There are many unknown factors that can cause infertility.
This is why knowing as much infertility information as possible is so important.
