1. Infertility is a global issue that has surfaced in the
lives of many in the recent years. While it can be a
difficult topic, it is very important that we are aware of
its reality. Today there are many usual misconceptions
revolving around the topic.
What is the truth about infertility?

2. What is infertility?
• The World Health
Organization’s clinical
definition for infertility is “a
disease of the reproductive
system defined by the failure
to achieve a clinical pregnancy
after 12 months or more of
regular unprotected sexual
intercourse.” This means that a
couple can be considered
infertile in the span of only a
year. Today, about 1 in 8
couples are infertile and this
statistic is on the incline.

3. Infertility affects 1 in 8 couples
• Many people don’t realize just how widespread infertility
has become today. In fact, there are a few recent
examples of celebrities who have shared their struggles
of getting pregnant (for those who were brave enough)
• In 2013, pop star Beyoncé revealed that she had a
miscarriage before giving birth to her first daughter,
Blue. Today, it is rumored that she is undergoing in vitro
fertilization (IVF) treatments to help her get pregnant
again. In addition, just a couple weeks ago, Mark
Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, revealed that
they are finally pregnant after 3 miscarriages over the
years. Both of these examples are healthy couples barely
in their 30s.

4. Not Just a Woman’s Problem
• The media tends to target women as the problem when it
comes to infertility–constantly trying to scare us into having
children at younger ages because the “biological clock” only
ticks until the age of exactly 35 (which is not entirely true
anyway). The truth of the matter is that men attribute to
infertility almost half of the time: 30% of the time it is due to
female factors, 30% of the time it is due to male factors, and
up to 40% of the time infertility is due to a perfectly wrong
combination or, more often than not, left unexplained.

5. Infertility is not always explained by Age
• The “biological fertility clock” is different for
everyone. While there is a long-term tendency
that fertility decreases with age, it doesn’t simply
vanish the day you turn 35. In fact, more and
more the trend among future parents is to wait
to have children until later in life–there are more
than 35 celebrities who have had children in
their 40s.

6. What causes infertility?
• There can be many different reasons why a
couple is infertile, which is also what makes it
so difficult to diagnose. Many of infertility
cases are left unexplained, but a number of
reasons for infertility could be due to genetics,
sexually transmitted infections (STIs), other
illnesses, low sperm count, poor sperm
motility and viability, imbalance of hormones,
the list goes on.

7. • Today, there has been a lot of speculation on
even more causes of infertility such as
emotional health, stress, and certain types of
food. One theory that is particularly disturbing
is that carrying your cell phone in your pocket
may cause infertility in men by reducing
sperm count, sperm motility (how they are
able to move), sperm viability (how long they
are able to survive), and testosterone levels
according to many studies. About 85% of men
keep their phones in their pockets, which
could potentially explain why one in five
healthy young men between the ages of 18-25
developing abnormally low sperm counts.
