      ab: Infertility is a major health problem and has a significant negative impact on people, society and the economy. Therefore, the study of fertility trend is one of the main interests of health researchers and policy makers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the interest in searching for infertility related contents in Persian language over the internet. Our model forecasted an increase in search for terms related to infertility from September 2023 to November 2027 by 50.2%. Given the recent national reports on the fertility rate, we showed that the provinces with the highest rate of infertility had a higher interest in searching for terms related to infertility and the provinces with the lowest rate of infertility had a lower interest in searching. In addition, provinces with high internet access showed lower interest in searching for fertility-related contents, while provinces with lower internet access had higher rates of fertility-related searches. Consequently, regional health care providers can offer more fertility-related contents online for the provinces with high infertility rate as they are more likely to seek for online fertility related contents. Moreover, increasing the internet users in these regions can facilitate access to fertility-related topics for more infertile couples.
