What is a fertility specialist, and when should I see one?

A fertility specialist is a medical doctor specializing in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. You should consider seeing one if:

1. You’ve Been Trying to Conceive for Over a Year: If you’re under 35 and have not conceived after a year of unprotected intercourse, or six months if you’re 35 or older.
2. Irregular Menstrual Cycles: If you have irregular or absent menstrual cycles, it may indicate underlying fertility issues.
3. Previous Pregnancy Loss: Experiencing multiple miscarriages may warrant consultation with a specialist.
4. Known Medical Conditions: If you have medical conditions affecting fertility (e.g., PCOS, endometriosis), a specialist can provide targeted treatment options.
