Infertility is a serious worry for many couples because it's a diagnosis that has the potential to dramatically alter the life that you always imagined for yourself. Hence to accept that you are infertile is very very devastating.

For women between ages 27 and 34, only 6% were unable to conceive in their second year. And for 35- to 39-year-old women, only 9% were unable to conceive in their second year, provided their partner was under 40. So even if you've been trying to get pregnant for a year, this does not mean you are infertile and rush into expensive infertility treatments before you need to.  Read..
