Fertilization: In the tube, a male sperm and an egg must connect.
Implantation: The fertilized egg is what needs to adhere to the uterine wall. Infertility is caused by issues in any one of these steps. One-third of cases of infertility are in females, and the same proportion are in males. In the remaining 1/3 of cases, the causes are still unknown.

In the male reproductive system, infertility is most commonly caused by problems in the ejection of semen, absence or low levels of sperm, or abnormal shape (morphology) and movement (motility) of the sperm.
In the female reproductive system, infertility may be caused by a range of abnormalities of the ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, and the endocrine system, among others.
