Sub Fertility

Subfertility refers to reduced fertility or a delay in conceiving, though it does not mean infertility (which is the complete inability to conceive). A couple with subfertility can still conceive, but it may take longer or may need medical assistance.

Types of Sub fertility

1. Primary Subfertility:

  • A couple has never conceived despite trying for over a year.
  • 2. Secondary Subfertility:

  • A couple has conceived before (naturally or with help), but now struggles to conceive again.
