Fertility evaluation: when couples should get checked

Couples should consider fertility evaluation after 12 months of trying without pregnancy, or after 6 months if the female partner is 35 or older. Evaluation may be needed earlier if periods are irregular, miscarriages have happened, or there is known medical history affecting fertility.

Why earlier evaluation sometimes matters

Irregular cycles, previous pelvic infection, known PCOS, endometriosis, prior surgery, or male-factor concerns can justify earlier testing. Waiting too long can delay treatment options that may be simpler if started sooner.

What the evaluation may include

Assessment may include menstrual history, ovulation review, ultrasound, hormone-related blood tests, and discussion about partner testing when appropriate. The aim is to identify whether the issue is ovulation, tubal, uterine, hormonal, or unexplained.

How Dr. Farwa supports fertility patients

Care is stepwise and practical. Patients receive explanation of findings, realistic next steps, and options ranging from timed intercourse planning to ovulation support and referral pathways when needed.

Frequently asked questions

Should both partners be evaluated?

Yes. Fertility evaluation should consider both partners whenever possible.

Does PCOS always mean infertility?

No, but it can affect ovulation and may need targeted treatment if pregnancy is delayed.

Can previous miscarriages change the evaluation plan?

Yes. Recurrent pregnancy loss or prior miscarriage may change the workup and follow-up plan.
