Hello Candygurl!

Being infertile and the inability to conceive mean the same thing although the term "conceive" is more of a female reference.

Infertility is the general term. Infertility is being NOT capable of producing an offspring. A woman can't conceive, while a man can't impregnate.

Infertile is when somebody is sterile or barren but when somebody cannot conceive, it means they can't have a baby even if they have what it takes to make one...

My husband and I have been trying for two years to get pregnant. It never happens. I fear I can't conceive but im afraid of the truth. What should I do?
