Infertility is not just a woman’s issue; it is a couple’s issue. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one-third of cases of infertility are caused by a reproductive problem for the woman, one-third are caused by a problem for the man, and one-third are due to problems for both partners or to unknown causes.1
