When should a couple seek help from a fertility specialist?
Approximately 60-70% of couples who are planning a pregnancy will generally become pregnant within 6 months, whereas 80-85% of couples will conceive within one year. Generally, any couple who has been actively attempting conception for greater than one year should seek consultation with a physician committed to carrying out an efficient evaluation. It may be appropriate to seek consultation prior to one year if there has been a history of prior infertility, miscarriage, or irregular menstrual cycles.
