The Basic Timeline: When to Seek Fertility Help

If you're under 35:

Experts recommend seeking fertility evaluation if you've been trying to conceive for 12 months without success. At this age, most people have a good chance of getting pregnant naturally, but if it hasn’t happened after a year, it’s worth checking in to identify any underlying issues.

If you're 35 or older:

Don’t wait. If you’ve been trying for 6 months or more without success, it’s time to schedule an appointment. Fertility naturally declines with age, particularly after 35, and early intervention can significantly improve your options and outcomes.

Don’t Wait If You Have These Symptoms or Conditions

Sometimes, waiting isn’t necessary at all. If any of the following apply to you, consider speaking with a fertility specialist sooner rather than later:

• Irregular menstrual cycles
• Diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
• Diagnosed with endometriosis
• Thyroid conditions
• History of multiple miscarriages
• Known issues with fallopian tubes or uterus
• Partner with low sperm count or motility

These are all factors that can affect fertility, and waiting for the "right time" could delay getting the support you need. Early evaluation allows for early action, which can be a powerful step toward your goal.

Trust Your Instincts

Fertility care isn’t just for those who have been trying for a long time, it’s also for those who feel something might be off. You know your body better than anyone. If something doesn’t feel right, or if you're simply feeling uncertain, it’s okay to reach out for answers.

Seeking help isn’t a sign of failure, it’s an act of strength. It means you’re advocating for your future and taking proactive steps toward building the family you dream of.
