Often couples will not achieve a pregnancy after a long period of trying.  From a medical perspective, a couple is not considered to be infertile until they have tried unsuccessfully to achieve a pregnancy for 12 months.  Fertility is also variable amongst different couples.  Data from studies indicate that approximately: 25% conceive within the first month 60% within the first six months 75% within the first nine months 80% within the first 12 months, and 90% by 18 months All of our doctors are able to provide advice on fertility and to conduct investigations for couples that are having difficulty achieving a pregnancy after 12 months of trying.  We also have excellent relationships with local and metropolitan specialists in the event that specialist referral is required.
