The cultural practices and attitudes of nations and nationalities in Ethiopia uphold reproduction as the most important function of families. Childlessness remains to be the most undesirable experience within marriage for most couples. Unfortunately, due to the long standing traditional outlooks of the vast majority of the society, women are expected to carry the burden of impaired fertility in a family. Like in many other populations, impaired fertility is an important health concern for Ethiopian women. There are many reasons why a couple may not be able to conceive, or may not be able to conceive without medical assistance. Currently the use of medical assistance to achieve fertility among couples who can’t conceive regardless of their trial to get pregnant is on the increase. In Ethiopia, evidence showed that infertility treatment has been provided since the past two decades.
