How long should I try to become pregnant naturally before seeking fertility treatment?
Because perfectly healthy couples with no fertility problems whatsoever can spend several months trying to conceive before achieving success, fertility experts generally recommend that couples wait to seek medical assistance until they have been trying to get pregnant for one full year. If either partner has a known medical condition that may interfere with fertility, however, it is best to seek treatment after no more than six months of trying to become pregnant. Women with a history of miscarriage or a reproductive condition such as endometriosis or polycystic ovarian syndrome may consider seeing a physician before attempting conception to discuss potential obstacles and complications.
