Abstract
Background of the Study
Parenthood is a fundamental human need. The urge to reproduce is universal. Every human being has a desire to become a parent and look after his or her children. The very desire for parenthood is a step in the direction of creating a family. Fertility or the ability to reproduce children has a positive social value where as, infertility has a negative value in Indian culture. Today fertility and infertility have both emerged equally problematic in the world population context. Most fertile couples around 90% should get pregnancy, within a year of regular intercourse. This rises to 95% over a two-year period.
