When Should You Seek Help with Fertility
Typically, we recommend you seek medical advice if any of the following apply:
- If you are under 35 and haven’t conceived after a year of trying.
- If you are over 35 and haven’t conceived after six months of trying.
- If you have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility by your doctor.
- If you have a known cause of infertility.
Please keep in mind that fertility is individualised, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why having a dedicated fertility specialist who understands your unique needs and challenges is so important. They will work with you to create a treatment plan just for you.
Other indicators to seek early treatment
Other female fertility indicators that early treatment should be sought include:
Female
- Irregular menstrual cycles or absent periods.
- A diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
- A diagnosis of endometriosis.
- A history suggestive of tubal damage, recurrent miscarriage, genetic conditions or family history of premature menopause.
Other male fertility indicators that early treatment should be sought include:
Male
- Poor sperm morphology (abnormally shaped), poor motility (slow-moving), low sperm count.
- Presence of anti–sperm antibodies.
- Ejaculatory problems or azoospermia (no sperm present).
- A vasectomy has been performed.
If any of these indicators apply to you, seeking support sooner rather than later can ensure you feel confident and in control about your fertility.
