Fertility means the ability to conceive within 12 months following regular unprotected sexual intercourse. Infertility, on the other hand, means the impossibility of carrying a pregnancy to term until a viable child is born. Still different is the concept of sterility, with which we refer to the inability to conceive within 12 months of regular unprotected sexual intercourse.
