-Impaired fecundity (the inability have a child) affects 6.7 million women in the U.S. -- about 11% of the reproductive-age population (Source: National Survey of Family Growth, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] 2006-2010).

-In a survey of married women, the CDC found that 1.5 million women in the US (6%) are infertile (Source: National Survey of Family Growth, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] 2006-2010).

-Infertility affects men and women equally.

-Twenty-five percent of infertile couples have more than one factor that contributes to their infertility.

-In approximately 40 percent of infertile couples, the male partner is either the sole cause or a contributing cause of infertility.

-Irregular or abnormal ovulation accounts for approximately 25 percent of all female infertility problems.

-Most infertility cases -- 85% to 90% -- are treated with conventional medical therapies such as medication or surgery.
