WHEN DO YOU SEEK HELP ?

Getting pregnant isn’t always easy. For how long should you try to get pregnant before you see a doctor? When should you keep going on your own, and when should you seek fertility help? While it’s easy to become impatient if you don’t get pregnant right away, it’s also important you don’t delay getting timely help. It’s time to talk to your doctor if any of the following fits your situation. Recommended Time to try Getting Pregnant is : • if a couple has not achieved pregnancy after one year of unprotected sex, they should seek professional help getting pregnant. However, • if the woman is over age 35, she shouldn’t wait so long. In this case, it’s recommended that a couple seek help getting pregnant after just six months of unprotected sex. When you’ve been trying to get pregnant for months, and nothing is happening, you can feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and even a little frightened. The wealth of information available online for couples trying to conceive is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing, because you can r esearch just about every option, and get so much more information than your doctor has time to share with you. But it can also be a bit of a curse, because you don’t know where to start. You also need to sort through the false and misleading advice online, and cautiously consider the products and services being marketed to the fertility challenged. With that in mind, here are five basic things I want you to know. Don’t delay getting help. I know it’s scary,and I know you’d rather walk around “waiting for a miracle” than find out that something is seriously wrong. • But the longer you wait to get help, the less likely you’ll have successful treatment. • If you’re over 35, you should see your doctor after six months of trying to conceive. • If you’re younger than 35, you should get help after one year of trying to conceive. • If you experience two consecutive miscarriages, you should also get an evaluation.
