A member asked:
Can you let me know how many periods missed would it take to be infertile?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doesn't matter: '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.
