The failure of conception to take place can be due to an infertile male as well. Hence after proper tests and diagnostics it is determine who needs corrective treatment. With advance therapies available conception is possible.    

Males become infertile due to lack of proper amount of sperms. The sperms could also be deformed and have no motility to fertilise the egg. Blockages is the reproductive apparatus can also hinder fertilisation of egg.  The problems could be hormonal, genetic and autoimmune,  There are many underlying medical inadequacies that require a look into through tests before corrective action can be taken.
