CONT

On parle d'infertilité primaire lorsqu'aucune grossesse ne s'est encore déclarée dans le couple, d'infertilité secondaire dans le cas contraire, même si aucune grossesse n'est allée à terme; lorsque l'un des conjoints a déjà eu une descendance avec un autre partenaire, il s'agit néanmoins d'une infertilité primaire du couple, dont l'un des partenaires est donc (ou a été) fécond.
