When To Call a Doctor for Infertility

You should seek advice from your doctor about infertility issues if:

You want to have children but cannot get pregnant after 1 year of regular sex without birth control If you are a 35 year old female or older who hasn’t been able to get pregnant after about 6 months of regular sex without birth control If you’re a female who has had 3 or more miscarriages

Try Before Consulting with a Doctor

As a couple, before you decide to seek help from a doctor, you should try Fertility Awareness. This is where you either plan to have sexual intercourse or abstain from sexual intercourse to maximize or minimize your chances of getting pregnant. Fertility awareness is so you can check and see the transformation your body goes through a menstrual cycle. This can aid you so you can maximize your chances in becoming pregnant because you know when you will be ovulating. After you know this information you can time sexual intercourse and try to increase your chances in becoming pregnant or try to prevent pregnancy by planning around the ovulation period. This is because a woman is fertile about 4 to 5 days each month, typically more or less around the days when ovulation takes place. This comes about 12 to 16 days prior to when the menstrual period beings.

Who You Should See

If you both decide to seek professional medical advice from a doctor, he will be able to evaluate your problem, give guidance, and discuss possible testing and treatment options that you can take. You can also get a sperm sample evaluation. You should always consult in someone you trust and possibly know. Such as a:

Family doctor Internist Nurse practitioner

If you want to get a full test done, you should always see an obstetrician or gynecologist (OBGYN) who specializes in people who are diagnosed with infertility. They are also known as reproductive endocrinologist or fertility specialist. When searching for someone who specializes in this area you should always ask what percentage their practice is infertility treatment, and if he or she has training in reproductive endocrinology.

My name is Hannah Warr and I?m 32 years old, happily married, with one daughter who I dearly love and who means the whole world to me. The last 6 years of my life has been an up and down roller coaster ride. When I was 26 my husband and I decided we wanted to start a family, however after 11 months of trying to get pregnant we had no luck.

I wanted to make information more accessible to women and men who are battling infertility. So I have started to publish articles online as well as my own website which discusses common fertility problems, infertility causes, and infertility treatments.
