Infertility can feel devastating to individuals, couples and their support systems. For many, having a child is the ultimate goal and what they want most.

Unfortunately, many individuals and couples who experience infertility suffer in silence.
In fact, the CDC reports that 1 in 8 women aged 15-44 years in the United States have difficulty getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to term.

You don’t have to go through infertility alone. At Cedars-Sinai, our fertility and reproductive medicine team includes board-certified OB-GYNs who are leading experts in fertility and infertility. We offer the latest fertility treatment options for individuals and couples who are trying to conceive.

Infertility can affect both men and women. Male infertility can be caused by sperm disorders, erectile dysfunction or structural problems in the male reproductive organs. In about 50 percent of cases, doctors are unable to determine the cause of male infertility.

You may be experiencing infertility if you or your partner:

• Is younger than 35 and has been trying to conceive for at least one year
• Is at least 35 years old and has been trying to conceive for at least six months

If you think you or your partner might be experiencing infertility or have questions about infertility, it's best to speak to an OB-GYN or your primary doctor. Connect with one of our fertility specialists.
