Infertility or Sub-Fertility?

You may believe that you are "infertile" when in fact you are only suffering from sub-fertility, or perhaps you just lack the correct information to identify your fertility.  Infertility is usually defined as the inability to conceive after twelve to eighteen months of sexual intercourse without contraception.

It is estimated that approximately 20 per cent of couples trying to have a child are unable to do so. Yet most couples are unprepared for infertility and unaware that in many cases it can be overcome, even without resorting to assisted reproduction techniques (IVF etc).

Advice about timing intercourse to coincide with ovulation often proves invaluable.  The Billings Ovulation Method™ enables the recognition of this time of fertility and maximises the chance of conception occurring.  This simple information has helped many couples to become pregnant including those who had been trying to conceive for more than two years or who had previously failed on IVF.
