**Fertility is a natural process to insure the survival of human species.
Through natural selection, we produce many offspring when the
reproductive system works at it's peak in the suitable environment with

of conceiving during their menstrual cycle before reaching the stage of
menopause.
**Infertility is defined as the inability of a couple to conceive after 12

Although women can get pregnant anytime during their menstrual cycle,
the best days to get pregnant are 2 days before and after ovulation because
the sperm can only survive 2-3 days(sperm may survive up to 6 days) in
the uterus after ejaculating into the vagina.
1. Men produce sperm as soon as they reach puberty and at any time of the
month, but their sperm quality and quantity may dip occasionally,
depending to their internal cycle, therefore it is easy to understand that
some women can conceive with her partner at the age of 95.
2. The female is born with a finite number of eggs in their ovaries. When
females reach the age of puberty, every month some of the eggs in their
ovaries mature and are extruded and only one can get into the Fallopian
tube for fertility, the rest degenerate and die. When the eggs are less than a
