    Glossary Subfertility

    reduced ability to conceive naturally within a year

    Subfertility, also known as reduced fertility, refers to a condition where an individual or couple has a lower than normal ability to conceive. Unlike infertility, which is the complete inability to conceive, subfertility indicates that conception is possible but may take longer or require medical assistance. This condition can be due to various factors, including hormonal imbalances, structural issues, or lifestyle factors.
