Understanding Infertility: When Should You Seek Help?
Infertility is more common than many people think. It is usually defined as not being able to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (or 6 months if the woman is 35 or older).
Knowing when to ask for help can save time, protect your emotional health, and improve your chances of success.
Common Causes of Infertility
Ovulation problems – irregular or absent periods
Sperm factors – low count, poor movement, or abnormal shape
Tubal or uterine issues – blocked tubes, fibroids, polyps
Age-related decline – lower egg number and quality over time
Unexplained infertility – all tests normal, but pregnancy doesn’t happen
When to Book a Fertility Assessment
- You’re under 35 and have tried for 1 year without success
- You’re 35 or older and have tried for 6 months
- Your periods are very irregular or extremely painful
- You or your partner have a known medical issue affecting fertility
