When to See Your Doctor

You should talk to your doctor about your fertility if:

• You are younger than 35 and have not been able to conceive after one year of frequent sex without birth control.
• You are age 35 or older and have not been able to conceive after six months of frequent sex without birth control.
• You believe you or your partner might have fertility problems in the future (even before you begin trying to get pregnant).
• You or your partner has a problem with sexual function or libido.

Happily, doctors are able to help many infertile couples go on to have babies.
