Prevalence of infertility and the effect of covariates on survival time to pregnancy: A nationally representative population based cross sectional study.

Objective: This study sought to estimate population level prevalence of infertility and explored whether time to pregnancy is related to selected factors.

Methods: This study's analysis was based on data collected from 2081 women who were sampled from participants of the 2016 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey based on risk of pregnancy criteria: age between 15 and 49 years, currently married or cohabitating, sexually active, not used contraception method during the 5 years before interview, not menopausal, and not pregnant. We used a current duration (CD) approach in which for each woman we calculated the length of time-at-risk of pregnancy (CD value) in months.

Background: Psychological stress is commonly found among infertile women. Untreated stress can affect negatively the success of infertility treatment. Most of the available knowledge is generated from developed countries and is largely based on women undergoing In vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment.
