===World Health Organization=== The [[World Health Organization]] defines infertility as follows:<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.who.int/reproductivehealth/topics/infertility/definitions/en/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131023231051/http://www.who.int/reproductivehealth/topics/infertility/definitions/en/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=23 October 2013 |title=WHO | Infertility |publisher=Who.int |date=2013-03-19 |access-date=2013-06-17}}</ref> {{Blockquote|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 [[Human reproduction#Copulation|sexual intercourse]] (and there is no other reason, such as breastfeeding or postpartum [[amenorrhoea]]). Primary infertility is infertility in a couple who have never had a child. Secondary infertility is the failure to conceive following a previous pregnancy. Infertility may be caused by infection in the man or woman, but often there is no obvious underlying cause."}}
