Show Tests Help Couples to Become Parents One out of ten couples have trouble conceiving the babies that they want," said Nora Eubanks, local Planned Parenthood Par-enthood representative. Not too many years ago, little help could be offered to them. Today these couples have better than 50 percent chance of success. She continued by saying that new tests, new drugs, and new treatments are now available to help these couples have babies. Since fertility I lessens 'as one grows older, I these couples should seek help early. t "A childless marriage is seldom the fault of the I husband or the wife alone. In I most cases, several factors in each mate combine to keep them from having a baby," ' she said. For both husband ! and wife, medical treatment I may be required. Sometimes an improvement in diet or additional rest and recreation t can solve the problem. J Cure is not available for all cases of infertility, but help is I now availabe for many who J have been unable to conceive, she stated.
