Understanding this area of care

A clear overview to help you know what to expect before your consultation.

Infertility is generally considered after twelve months of regular unprotected intercourse without pregnancy (or six months if the woman is over 35). Evaluation includes menstrual and ovulation history, assessment of both partners where possible, hormonal blood tests, semen analysis referral, and pelvic ultrasound to examine the uterus and ovaries. Common findings include ovulatory dysfunction, PCOS, tubal factors, endometriosis, and male factor infertility — sometimes more than one factor is present. Treatment ranges from lifestyle modification and timed intercourse through ovulation induction to referral for procedures such as IUI or IVF when appropriate.

Symptoms & concerns

Common patterns women describe — though every experience is individual.

  • No pregnancy after 12 months of trying (6 months if over 35)
  • Irregular or absent periods suggesting ovulation problems
  • Known conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, or thyroid disease
  • Previous pelvic infection or surgery affecting the tubes
  • Recurrent early pregnancy loss when trying to conceive

Possible causes & context

Helpful background — a consultation helps clarify what applies to you.

  • Ovulatory dysfunction or anovulation
  • PCOS and related metabolic factors
  • Tubal blockage or pelvic adhesions
  • Endometriosis affecting the pelvis or ovaries
  • Male factor — low sperm count or motility (requires semen analysis)
  • Unexplained infertility despite initial workup

When should you seek care?

If any of the following apply, it is worth arranging a consultation.

  • You have been trying to conceive for 12 months without success (6 months if aged 35 or above)
  • Your cycles are irregular and you are planning pregnancy
  • You have a known condition that may affect fertility such as PCOS or endometriosis
  • You have had two or more miscarriages while trying
  • You want preconception counselling before starting to try

What a consultation may involve

Every visit is tailored — this is a general guide to what may be discussed.

  1. Detailed history for both partners when possible

  2. Menstrual cycle and ovulation pattern review

  3. Physical examination and pelvic ultrasound

  4. Baseline hormonal blood tests on appropriate cycle days

  5. Semen analysis referral for the male partner

  6. Discussion of findings, realistic timelines, and treatment options

Treatment & management overview

Options depend on your history, examination findings, and preferences.

Initial management may involve lifestyle optimisation, treating underlying conditions such as thyroid imbalance, and ovulation induction with timed intercourse. Referral for IUI or IVF is discussed when simpler approaches are unlikely to succeed or when tubal or severe male factor issues are identified.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to common questions — for personal advice, please book a consultation.

How long should we try before seeking fertility help?

Most couples are advised to seek evaluation after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse. If the woman is 35 or older, or if there are known risk factors such as irregular cycles, earlier consultation — around six months — is reasonable.

Does infertility always mean IVF is needed?

No. Many couples conceive with ovulation induction, treatment of underlying conditions, or timed intercourse alone. IVF is one option among several and is recommended when simpler treatments are unlikely to work or have not succeeded.

What tests are done at the first fertility visit?

Initial workup often includes day-2 or day-3 hormonal blood tests, pelvic ultrasound, and semen analysis for the male partner. Further tests such as tubal patency assessment may follow based on findings.

Can PCOS affect my ability to get pregnant?

PCOS can affect ovulation, making conception harder for some women. With appropriate treatment — often ovulation induction — many women with PCOS conceive successfully. PCOS should be evaluated and managed rather than assumed.
