fertility issues
Trouble getting pregnant
Fertility issues are difficulties conceiving or carrying a pregnancy to term.
The phrase covers a range of conditions affecting either partner—low sperm count, blocked fallopian tubes, hormonal imbalances, age-related decline.
It functions as a gentler alternative to "infertility," which sounds more final: They've been dealing with fertility issues for two years.
The plural form is standard even when referring to a single underlying cause.
