When should a woman/ couple become concerned about not becoming pregnant?
When a couple has failed to conceive after one year of well-timed intercourse, they should seek expert care. In cases where the woman is older than age 35, treatment should be sought after six months of well-timed intercourse. If a woman knows that she has endometriosis or polycystic ovarian disease, the couple should move immediately to expert care. If the husband has known male factor infertility (low or no sperm count, poor morphology or motility, etc.), the couple should move immediately to expert care. If a woman has had two consecutive pregnancy losses, the couple should move to expert care.
