WHEN SHOULD YOU CONSIDER SEEING A FERTILITY SPECIALIST?
Trying to conceive can be exciting at first.
But when the months start passing without a positive pregnancy test, you may begin wondering:
“Is something wrong?” 🤔
First, don't panic. Not getting pregnant immediately doesn't automatically mean you or your partner has a fertility problem.
However, there are situations where it makes sense to speak with a doctor or fertility specialist.
👉🏽 1. You've been trying for 12 months without getting pregnant
If you're under 35 and have been having regular unprotected s*x for about a year without pregnancy, it's reasonable to seek a fertility evaluation.
👉🏽 2. You're 35 or older
It's generally recommended to seek an evaluation after about 6 months of trying if you're 35 or older.
👉🏽 3. Your periods are very irregular or absent
Irregular periods can sometimes mean that you're not ovulating regularly.
A doctor can help find out what's causing the irregularity.
👉🏽 4. You have severe period pain or a history of conditions that may affect fertility
Conditions such as endometriosis or previous pelvic problems may affect fertility and deserve medical attention.
👉🏽 5. You've had repeated miscarriages
If you've experienced repeated pregnancy losses, talk to a healthcare professional so they can investigate possible causes.
👉🏽 6. Your partner has concerns that could affect fertility
Fertility is not only a woman's issue.
Both partners can contribute to fertility difficulties, so evaluation may involve both the woman and the man.
❤️ And here's the important part...
Seeing a fertility specialist doesn't mean you're infertile.
It simply means you're getting information about what's happening and finding out whether there is anything that needs attention.
Sometimes, knowing the problem is the first step toward finding the solution.
