    Alice appears to be experiencing infertility issues. Infertility is defined as the inability to get pregnant after at least one year of unprotected sex. It can be caused by female or male factors and sometimes no cause can be identified. Common tests and treatments aim to identify any issues with ovulation, fallopian tubes, hormones or other factors and stimulate follicle growth and ovulation through medications. Infertility is a difficult physical and emotional experience to go through.
