Isabella and Christopher are a young couple, ages 26 and 28, who have been married for two years and have not been using birth control for the past year. They are concerned and have come to the infertility clinic where you are working as a graduate nurse. You explain to them that infertility is not uncommon and occurs in 10– 15% of couples.
