Classification Based Upon History[1]
Primary infertility
- It refers to couples who have never been able to conceive.
- Primary infertility also includes women conceived but have had regular miscarriages.

- It refers to difficulty conceiving after already having conceived and carried a normal pregnancy. Technically, secondary infertility is not present if there has been a change of partners.
Other causes of infertility are male infertility, systemic medical illnesses and unexplained infertility.
