If you are under 35 and have been trying to conceive for 12 months without success, it is advisable to seek fertility evaluation. If you are 35 or older, you should consider seeing a specialist after 6 months of trying. Women with irregular periods, previous miscarriages, endometriosis, or known reproductive issues may benefit from earlier consultation.

A fertility evaluation usually includes a detailed medical history, physical assessment, hormone tests, pelvic ultrasound, ovulation tracking, and semen analysis. Depending on findings, additional tests such as tubal patency checks or genetic screening may be recommended.

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is a fertility treatment where eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryo is then transferred into the uterus to achieve pregnancy. IVF is commonly used for blocked tubes, male infertility, low ovarian reserve, or unexplained infertility.

IVF success rates vary depending on age, egg quality, sperm quality, uterine health, and medical history. Younger women generally have higher success rates. A fertility specialist can provide a more realistic estimate after reviewing your specific situation.

A typical IVF cycle takes about 4 to 6 weeks from the start of medications to pregnancy testing. This includes ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo development, and embryo transfer.

IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is a simpler fertility treatment where specially prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus during ovulation. It helps increase the chances of fertilization and is often used for mild male infertility, ovulation issues, or unexplained infertility.

Not necessarily. IUI is less invasive and more affordable, but IVF offers higher success rates and is often recommended for more complex fertility problems. The right option depends on your age, diagnosis, and fertility goals.

IUI places sperm inside the uterus and relies on fertilization happening naturally inside the body. IVF involves fertilization in the laboratory, followed by embryo transfer into the uterus. IVF is more advanced and often more effective for certain conditions.

Yes. Donor eggs or sperm may be recommended when there are issues such as poor egg reserve, premature ovarian failure, severe male infertility, or genetic concerns. Donors are carefully screened to ensure safety and suitability.

PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) is used during IVF to screen embryos for certain chromosomal or genetic abnormalities before transfer. It may help improve implantation rates, reduce miscarriage risk, and support healthier pregnancy outcomes.

Stress alone does not usually cause infertility, but it can affect hormones, ovulation, sexual health, and overall wellbeing. Managing stress can be helpful during treatment and may improve the overall experience.

Yes, it is possible depending on the underlying cause of infertility. A failed IVF cycle does not automatically mean natural pregnancy cannot happen. Your doctor may recommend further evaluation or changes in treatment strategy.

Yes. Modern fertility treatments are generally safe when supervised by qualified specialists. Like any medical treatment, there may be risks or side effects, but your care team will monitor you closely throughout the process.

Maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol, managing stress, exercising moderately, and getting enough sleep can all support fertility in both men and women.
