The low monthly probability of conception highlights the challenges couples may face when trying to have children, with experts urging partners to seek medical advice together rather than placing blame on one another.

Fertility experts are warning of rising infertility concerns in the country, revealing that only five out of every 100 fertile women trying to conceive become pregnant in a single menstrual cycle.

Dr Charles Muteshi, a consultant fertility expert at Aga Khan University Hospital, says conception depends on several factors, including ovulation, open fallopian tubes, healthy sperm and regular intercourse. He cautions that misconceptions about fertility can cause emotional distress and delay treatment, particularly when couples assume that being active automatically guarantees pregnancy.
