If you’ve been trying to conceive for a while or have any health issues that might affect your fertility, reaching out to a professional can provide you with valuable insights and peace of mind.
When to Seek Help
While it can feel like a lengthy process, it’s actually quite common for couples to take up to a year to conceive, even with regular unprotected intercourse. Here are some instances when you might want to consider seeing a fertility expert:
- You’ve been trying to get pregnant for over a year without success.
- If you’re over 35 and have been attempting to conceive for six months.
- You experience irregular or missed periods.
- You have a known medical condition that could impact your fertility or suspect you might have one.
- You’re above 40 and are thinking about starting a family.
Talking to a Specialist
You can easily consult a fertility specialist via phone, video, or in-person without needing a referral. They can provide tailored advice, tests, and treatments to suit your needs. If you have a health issue that affects your fertility, it’s advisable not to wait. Seeking help earlier can often make all the difference.
Conditions that may warrant an earlier visit include:
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Endometriosis
- Early menopause
- Hormonal imbalances
- A history of miscarriages
- Previous cancer treatments, like chemotherapy
- Genetic conditions
“I wish I had reached out to TFP earlier,” said Jenna. “But I wouldn’t change a thing because now I have my son, Leo.”
