Yes: 'infertility' is defined as a couple that has unprotected intercourse without conception for one year. This is based on observational studies demonstrating about 85% of normal couples conceive in that time. This definition does not depend at all on 'actively trying, ' just that a sexually active woman is at risk for becoming pregnant with her partner during that time frame.

Infertility : If you have unprotected sex for a year (or 6 months if you are 35 years old or older) without having a baby, you have met the definition for the diagnosis of infertility. Often not getting pregnant is the only symptom. You should be evaluated by a reproductive endocrinologist. Treatment these days is highly successful for most people. Get some expert advice!
