This is the case of couples simultaneously suffering, for example, irregular ovulation, sperm in which the concentration of mobile spermatozoa is low, or couples combining Fallopian tubes damages (but not occluded) by a previous genital infection, and poor cervical mucus quality, etc. In such cases we can speak of subfertility. These situations are more frequent than sterility which explains why pregnancies may occur spontaneously, possibly after many years of waiting. These hypofertile couples may also remain childless for ever if the time needed to achieve pregnancy proves longer than the time they have available (especially as a result of diminished fertility in women beyond a certain age).  4, record 1, English, - subfertile
