Every woman dreams about cradling a baby in her arms. It is a wish, a longing, a prayer and all of us wait for that beautiful day when we can cuddle our baby. While having a baby is one of the most wonderful experiences in this world, the inability to conceive causes a heartache that is incomparable. The inability to procreate leads to the most distressing feelings like anger, grief, depression, loss of self-esteem and confidence and added anxiety. Infertility or inability to conceive naturally is still considered as a taboo in our society and even today, women who cannot conceive, feel outcast from the society.

Research has shown that infertility levels have increased by 20 to 30 per cent over last five years in India. Infertility is now neither limited only to cities nor to women alone. Lot of men also face issues that hamper conception and women in rural areas are equally susceptible. While there are many reasons that can lead to infertility, obesity has become one of the leading causes for failure to conceive.
