Eighty couples (45.7%) were diagnosed with primary infertility, while 95 couples (54.3%) were diagnosed with secondary infertility. The mean marriage duration before visits was 7.7 \u00b1 4.9 years. Meanwhile, 19 couples were identified as having advanced age in both partners (10.9%), 30 couples with advanced maternal age (17.1%), and 11 couples with advanced paternal age (6.3%). Additionally, couples with secondary infertility had an average of 1.6 pregnancies, with a mean of 1.4 early pregnancy losses. A male factor was identified in 30.3% of the couples (n = 53) and a combination of both male and female factors was reported in 52.0% (n = 91). Infertility and pregnancy loss were attributed to chromosomal aberrations solely in 27.4% of the couples (n = 48) and to monogenic carrier status in 14.3% of the couples (n = 25). Exome sequencing and gene panels were recommended and\/or conducted in 49 couples (28%).\n                      <jats:italic>In vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                      fertilization and preimplantation genetic testing were recommended for couples with proven monogenic or chromosomal-related infertility.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A couple\u2019s genetic profile significantly impacts fertility potential and outcomes.
