When Is It Time for a Fertility Evaluation?

by | Nov 21, 2018 | Healthcare

If you are having trouble getting pregnant you are far from alone. You are in the company of over seven million other Americans who are in the same boat. If you are younger than 35 and have been trying to conceive for a year or over 35 and have been trying for six months or more it might be time to consider some type of fertility treatment in Orlando, FL. The best place to start is by having a fertility evaluation. Other reasons to consider an evaluation would be if you have a prior history on miscarriages or problematic menstrual cycles. For a man, a history of low sperm count or other issues with sperm.

What Can You Expect from an Evaluation?

First you need to understand that about 60% of couples who have been unable to get pregnant finds that one partner or the other, through no fault of their own, has a physical issue, while the rest have two or more issues, or the reason just cannot be explained. During a fertility evaluation the doctor will ask some embarrassing questions but every one of them has a purpose and total honesty will bring you one step closer to finding and hopefully fixing the problem. Both you and your partner will receive a thorough physical examination.

Making It Easier on Yourself

Like they say there are no stupid questions so ask all of them and more. If you do not understand a test result, do not understand an answer, or if you do not understand any part of the process ask questions until you are comfortable with your level of understanding. You and your partner need to communicate with each other no matter if you are happy, sad or frustrated. At Advanced Reproductive Specialists they can help you take charge if your fertility.
