Specializes in General Practice

Please Clarify: I am not very sure what you are asking and why after ten years you are asking it now. There must be much more to the story here. One should not be scared. But, one should get information and act up on it. Generally if one has failed to conceive after one year of trying then fertility testing of both partners is indicated.
