How long does it usually take to become pregnant naturally, before we should start thinking about treatments like IVF?
If you have regular periods and are 35 years of age or less, you should wait one year before undergoing any fertility investigations. Menstrual irregularity is a clear sign of irregular ovulation though, and can be corrected early on. For women who are over the age of 35, it would be reasonable to do some preliminary fertility testing right away. This would ensure there are no issues that need to be treated immediately, given the limited number of years left for childbearing.
