Have you been trying to get pregnant ?– when do you need to see a fertility doctor?

This question is asked by almost every woman in the TTC journey. Here are your answers!

-If you're younger than 35 and haven't become pregnant after one year of unprotected sex, it's time to consult a fertility doctor.
-If you're age 35 or older, it's best to see a specialist after about six months of trying to conceive.

Certain conditions can also affect fertility, so it may make sense to get treatment before spending a full six months or a year trying to get pregnant naturally. You may need to pay a visit to a fertility clinic if you have a history of:

Pelvic inflammatory disease
Fibroids
Endometriosis
Polycystic ovary syndrome
Sexually transmitted infection such as chlamydia or gonorrhea
Blocked fallopian tubes from an infection, ectopic pregnancy, or previous surgery
Previous pelvic or abdominal surgery
Chronic illness such as diabetes, cancer, or thyroid disease
Even if you've never been diagnosed with a specific medical condition, certain symptoms or physical characteristics can indicate a problem that could affect your fertility. Talk to your doctor if you have trouble getting pregnant along with any of the following signs:

Periods that are absent, irregular, painful, prolonged, or very heavy
Daily pelvic pain
Scalp hair loss
Severe acne
Excessive facial and body hair
Keep in mind that smoking, drinking alcohol, having more than 300 mg of caffeine daily , or being significantly overweight or underweight can also negatively impact fertility and pregnancy.
