Attempting Pregnancy

If I'm not using contraception and I haven't gotten pregnant, how long should I wait before being seen for this?

Most couples will become pregnant during the course of a year of regular, unprotected intercourse. Infertility is defined as one year of unprotected intercourse without conception. That is traditionally the amount of time most people would wait for an infertility evaluation. Some exceptions exist in which evaluation might be started sooner. They have to do with certain risk factors for infertility such as a history of pelvic infections, advanced age, and certain endocrine disorders among others. If you have special circumstances, see your Carteret Ob/Gyn provider to discuss it further.
