Short YouTube transcript excerpt (two speakers) discussing infertility diagnoses. Speaker B clarifies that the medical definition often used is failure to conceive after timed intercourse for 12 months (or 6 months if over 35), notes many cases are unexplained and male partners may not be evaluated, and Speaker A comments that doctors' statements can have long-lasting negative psychological effects.

When a doctor actually looks at a woman and says you can't get pregnant, what does that mean really?
That diagnosis is just literally saying that you had timed intercourse for 12 months and were not able to conceive or actually six months if you're over 35 in some cases. A lot of times it's unexplained infertility. You know, a lot of times they haven't even looked at the male partner.
What doctors tell women can put a cloud of rain on them their entire life, but it's simply not true.
So an infertility diagnosis is really no information and oftentimes very confusing and disheartening when in actuality there's a lot of other things that can be explored and a lot of things that do impact that cellular health that do impact fertility directly. I want to make sure everybody knows that like an infertility diagnosis is not set in stone. There's so much hope that infertility diagnosis really doesn't mean a whole lot.
