Infertility has been described medically as the inability of a couple to achieve conception after a year or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse or the incapacity to carry a pregnancy to a live birth [1]. The CDC statistics show that on an average one in every eight couple suffers from infertility [2]. The World Health Organization also shows a similar estimate of about 8-10% of the world population suffering from infertility problems [3].
