Should I see a Doctor to know the cause of my infertility?

One in every six couples faces the problem and difficulties in conception. Infertility is a couple's problem, and is commonly due to some contribution from both the male and female partners. Most times, the male contributes a significant part of the fertility problem though women being at the receiving side take all the blame. In starting the process of trying to conceive, the most important thing to do is to study and know your own body, of which your doctor will be a helping hand.

The word infertility has no easy answer and the reason why it is so hard for some women to conceive is another question that has a difficult answer but in most cases, factors like, ovulation, cervical, fibroids etc are the definite causes of their infertility.

Seeking the idea of a fertility specialist when you have troubles conceiving or problem of infertility is a good and important idea. It is easier for women under 30 to conceive but if you are under 35 and have been having regular and unprotected sex for a year but have not been able to conceive, make an appointment with your doctor or a fertility specialist.

If otherwise, that is, you are over 35, and then start investigating the issue of infertility after six months of regular and unprotected sex. However, there are times when you should make appointment with the fertility specialist sooner and earlier.

In other-words, if you have experienced two or more miscarriages, have especially painful periods or have irregular periods, experienced an unusual increase or a burning vaginal discharge, or if your partner is experiencing a decrease in his sex drive, impotence or painful ejaculations, then make an appointment with fertility specialist or gynecologist sooner. These indications that causes infertility or delay in conception needs medical attention before a successful conception can occur.
