INFERTILITY
Primary infertility: Infertility without any previous pregnancy.
Secondary infertility: Fertility problems occurring in a couple that has conceived on their own and had a child in the past.
Sterility: When there is no chance for a pregnancy. This is different from infertility which generally represents a reduced potential for pregnancy.
Most childless couples with a female age under about 43 that are having problems getting pregnant are considered to be infertile but not sterile.
