Ten Exceptions to Waiting 6-months to 1-Year

2/10/2020

You may have read that when you're trying to conceive, you need to wait before going to a fertility specialist. The standard recommendation is if you're under 35, you try for a year; if you're 35 or older, you try for six months - then you start the process of an infertility diagnosis. Sounds reasonable, except for some women (and men), waiting is wasting time. Dr. Wilshire explains the ten exceptions to waiting.

The ten reasons are:

You have irregular periods and do not know when you ovulate
You're taking multiple medications that may impair fertility
You're underweight or overweight; both extremes may impair fertility
You have a history of pelvic infection, a previous STD (sexually transmitted disease), PID (pelvic inflammatory disease), or previous abdominal surgery (ie. removal of your appendix)
You have painful periods or painful intercourse
There are timing conflicts that will interfere with having relations during your ovulation window
There are known male factor issues, such as treatment for childhood cancer, varicocele, etc.
The male partner is taking multiple medications which may impair fertility
The male partner is untested/unproven (semen analysis has not been done)
Your time is priceless and you want to have a baby now - wasting time is not to your advantage
