Fertility issues can be emotionally challenging for couples trying to conceive. Knowing when to seek help from a gynecologist is important for addressing concerns early and exploring potential solutions.
For women under 35, most experts recommend trying to conceive for 12 months before seeking medical help. If you’re over 35, it’s best to consult a gynecologist after six months of trying. Age plays a significant role in fertility, so seeking assistance sooner can increase your chances of success.
If you experience irregular or absent periods, it could indicate an underlying condition affecting your fertility, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid issues. A gynecologist can perform tests to determine the cause and provide treatments that may help regulate your cycle.
If you’ve been diagnosed with endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or have had previous miscarriages, it’s important to seek guidance from a gynecologist early in your fertility journey. These conditions can impact your ability to conceive, and early intervention may improve your chances.
Fertility challenges aren’t solely a female issue. If you and your partner have been trying to conceive without success, a gynecologist can refer you to a specialist to assess both partners’ reproductive health.
Addressing fertility issues with a gynecologist can offer insights, treatment options, and a supportive path forward. Seeking help early can improve your chances of starting a family and give you peace of mind during the process.
